I haven't been very active on PM recently. Everything's fine but I'm heading in a direction that doesn't allow for much heavy machinery restoration. Already have a small lathe so I figure I'll use what tinkering time I have to restore my shaper and mill.
Selling my Clausing 6300 12x36" lathe. It's a solid design with an enclosed oil-bath headstock and enclosed threading gearbox and apron. L00 spindle taper, full cabinet stand with variable-speed Reeves drive, somewhere around 800 pounds or so. See the page on Tony's site for more details. Mine's an earlier model that actually came with the "Atlas-Clausing" tags.
This particular one is a restoration project. The guy I got it from bought it off a shop machinist. After that, it sat around his garage until he tipped it over onto its face. Some of the controls were broken but I bought replacements for almost all of them. I tore the whole thing down to the screws with plans for a frame-off resto.
Condition: Has what seems to be average wear for the age. It was used a lot but maintained. I never tested it in operation. Headstock bearings feel on the rough side. As mentioned, some controls are broken but I have replacements. Paint is poor. Cabinet is dirty. Some minor feed bushings and bearings need replacing.
Status: Completely disassembled other than the headstock and apron/carriage. I haven't lost any parts so everything should still be there. I have a parts manual, but it's for a slightly newer variation. No tooling or accessories beyond the basic tailstock and compound set.
Needs to be picked up northeast of Boston, MA. Asking $400. Would consider trades for Atlas lathe/mill/shaper parts/accessories, nice bench grinders, quality mechanic's air tools, quality air guns (of the shooty type,) or high-grade hifi audio.
I don't have the time to part it out and ship, sorry. A normal pickup truck will handle everything. Bring a friend to help load.
Here's a photo of an identical model. Mine's too spread around to photograph, but it looks the same other than no start switch, chucks, or collet rig.
