this is my first lathe (at 60 yrs old) and i've not been posting here for too long. i'm starting this thread focusing on the cleanup of a Clausing-Colchester 12" actually a 13" x 40" made in Colchester, Essex in 1982. i've only seen a couple here on the PM forum, so i'm hoping to add any information i can to the mix.
it came with a 5C collet closer,(no collets) 6" 3 jaw chuck with a couple sets of soft jaws, tailstock turret attachment, coolant tank and pump, open side tool holder, 2 D1-3 face plates, and they also threw in a Bridgeport swivel vise and Yuasa 10" rotary table with 6 indexing plates.
so here is the progress so far,
i've pulled the tailstock, feed screws, and carriage for cleanup, looks like i need one of the trust bearings for the main lead screw.
there are two of these and the other one is like new.
