Hey Everyone,
I am just diving into the machining world. Got lucky enough with someone providing most of a clausing 8520 to me (missing head housing, quill, spind, spindle pulley etc... but does have motor). I also have the luck of having a Bridgeport m head head housing. In looking for spindles/quills for Bridgeport m head, or just head for causing 8520 I've been having trouble finding something affordable. Question for you all, what is the best source to search for either Bridgeport spindle/quill's, or for clausing head? Do you have other thoughts about alternative spindles I can use for this machine (I'm willing to sacrifice some quality for price). Basically, how would you approach this project?
Thank you
