If you get stuck PM me with your e-mail and I'll float one across. Parts section has very clear diagrams as to whats what and where it all goes. Should wind right out and bring taper gib with it if need be. Single adjuster screw for taper gib on compound. Now to find or have a local sheet metal shop make me a chip tray and it'll be golden. Not too bad for the price, about $550 into it so far between trailer rental and fuel. Not much room in my garage to work around it, but just enough to be able to use it if I don't have to run away from chips just enough to pick up with your fingernail. Are there any specific or problematic areas I should look (short of doing a complete overhaul) on this machine? Outside of the usual checking for oil in headstock and apron? Ways seem decent enough, I haven't put an indicator to it, but up by the headstock there might be a couple thou or so of wear. It's missing the 4 studs/nuts that hold down the compound, but other than that and the keys, seems complete. So I'll have to replace those, no big deal. Appears to have been in the process of being setup to be an automated polishing machine: limit switches on Z and X axis, and they removed ability to move any levers (removed all keys). Haven't looked to see whether it has it's own gib yet, aside form the set screw on the left (which is lose). Only thing that appears to be a problem at the moment is compound seems seized. I've loosely/quickly inspected it, turned the spindle by hand, Z-axis by handwheel and X-axis handwheel (missing key on shaft though, but it did move a small distance). Cleaned it up the other night (WD-40 and scotch-brite) to remove oil/grime/very light surface rust. Not under power, but appears to be in decent shape. Hi all, just picked up a Clausing Colchester lathe last weekend.
