The Clausing Arrives or 10lb in 1lb bag

[wlw-19958]

Hi There,

My Clausing 5914 came with an Aloris AXA tool post and
the previous owners had put a 1/2" Aluminum spacer plate
under it. I sold it and installed a BXA tool post instead.
I think it is a better fit for the Clausing. The AXA should
be just right on the Heavy Ten.

Good Luck!

Yeah Webb that is what I did also,agree a BXA would be a better fit. But,like I said the plan is for the AXA to most likely end up on the SB Heavy Ten where the BXA would be too big.

Going to take some getting use to having a cross slide that the calibration is for diameter rather than radius. Bet that difference gets me into trouble on the other lathes !! Really like having the clutch and brake !

I have two lathes in my shop, one of each dia & rad. I ended up putting a sign on each reminding me which is which. I also noted which slide it is because at times I would forget if it was the cross slide or compound. Both of my lathes are Sheldon's so it is easy to confuse me.
