Still For Sale for $ 650.00 Local Pick Up Only 15 Miles north of Chicago
This Atlas Clausing Lathe was modified to be a fixed unit for making billets with 360 degree indexing.The machine is mounted to a 48" x 24" x 1.5" wooden plywood base.
It has a Rigid Router mounted vertically and cuts the slots at 90 degress on the X Axis. It uses a spring loaded spur drive center. It will make billets up to 1.320 in dia.
I welded the 5C Collet Indexing Head to the spindle bore so it is a dedicated machine for slotting billets. I used this machine for 5 years and was very happy with it performance making my billets.( see pics of rings on cues in the next post for an example )
I stopped using this machine when I got my CNC skills up to par and I now do my billets on the CNC. I need bench space for a new sander.
This machine is near Chicago and I am not interested in shipping it. Local pick up only.
