Any thoughts on the Clausing 6913? Total newbie to machining but not to mechanics in general.
Here's the link Facebook Marketplace: USA MADE REDUCED Clausing 6913 14x40 Single Phase 220 volt Lathe Open to Offers - Tools - Charlotte, North Carolina
I was really hunting down a good deal for a milling machine as that's what I want first but read up that this is a decent machine and also pretty decent for gunsmithing.
As I don't know anyone in the machining world, this forum has became my new best friend!
Ad reads as follows "Clausing 6913 14x40 Single Phase 220 volt Lathe. Harden ways. Has 3 jaw chuck, 4 jaw chuck, and face plate. the lathe runs but The vari-speed cylinder needs bleeding not sure about anything else. I just don't have time to work on it and needing room in the shop. Asking $2850 OBO"
Thoughts, suggestions? I do want a decent mill and lathe but was planning on a mill first but if a good deal comes along I don't want to pass on it.
