Hi Randy, Yes. It is made of A2 and is 60 RC. I had this block for decades and use it all the time. I had to regrind it a couple of times due to wear. If you have the money and want something that is better CPM 3V is the way to go. It has almost 3 times the wear of D2 and strength close to 01. Jonathan in one of our videos did his block out of CPM 3V. Steve
G'day Randy Stumbled across your channel and became interested in what you were working on. Also I see that Chris from "old man's shop" is subscribed, so I have too. Regards John Tasmania Australia.
This makes me feel I should be taking a much closer look at my old tailstock! You got a great result :) Wish I could set up a VFD - unfortunately, wrong type of motor. You made a super job of that control box.
Thank you Jeffry. With a drill, especially larger ones, When the drill first makes contact and grabs for a cut the drill will want to turn with the work piece, with rotational play the drill can be knock loose from the taper. The more rotational play the easier and the more this happens. Very annoying.
Tried to buy a Clausing 1300 a few months ago, didn't get it, got a Taiwan made ENCO 1340 gear head a few weeks ago. Got it for $800, in pretty good shape. We had control panels like that at work. It looks good the way its made. Why not put the fan at the top pulling the hot air out? I have become so frugal, it's gonna gall me to throw out chips when I get the lathe going! 14:30 It looks great. Very Good video.
Well can't beat the price. I do not like hole in the top of a box, everything seem to go into them. It is tough to toss chips. I am way beyond frugal. Thank you for watching.
I meant reversing the fan and filter locations, with the fax on the side of the box, near the top. Instead of trying to draw the warm air down and out, you draw it out and the cooler air up.
The VFD has it own fan and the box is large enough not to really need ventilation. But it does get hot here in the summer so i like to but in some extra protection.
Randy, nice repair. I had to clean up my lathe MT3 tailstock with a fine cut MT3 reamer due to rust and scoring. It wasn't much but I took too much off the internal barrel and had to slightly extend the internal left hand thread to allow easy ejecting the live centers and drill chucks.
I was trying to find your working on the clausing lathe video but was not able to find it I was wondering what you do or use to clean your ways up so nicely? Thank you
Awesome video! My clausing lathes tail stock was having problems and sticking etc. The previous owner abused the hell out of this lathe and i bought it and rescued the poor lathe. Anyways i noticed the reason why it was sticking and not moving as the thrust bearing OQ-10 seems to be missing etc. I placed an oring as a temporary fix till i can find a thrust washer with the correct dimensions etc. Randy do you have any idea the actual dimensions of that thrust washer? I tried looking for it on clausing website but nothing came up. Any ideas would be extremely helpful thanks in advance!!!!
@@RRINTHESHOPThanks for the great thoughts thanks!!! I measured the space in there and cut a disc from bronze bearing and used that and it worked like a charmed...... Keep up the great videos!!!!
Nice job on the panel. I have just one comment on the fan exhausting. It has been my experience when doing it that way,that you are creating a slight vacuum in the panel and any tiny opening will suck in room air.After a time you will see slight dust traces wherever there is a gap that is not sealed,such as the cutout for the VFD. What I find that works better is to draw air in through a filter, slightly pressurizing the cabinet and not allowing any unfiltered air to enter the cabinet.
Nice repair job. I'm looking at a Clausing lathe for sale, are they very good? I don't think it has the variable speed and the owner doesn't know what size but I think its a 10 or so inch. My name is Randy, what are the chances? Take care and good work.
Yep, pretty common across the board, doesn't matter the make, the model, country of origin, all these keys go limp eventually. And..you know, i figure it's not a bad thing, i'd rather have to replace a key than the TS tube or the TS body. Old man that sold me the lathe smartened me up on it and told me to buy some extra key stock just for that. :) I'm anticipating the day where i get the excuse to change it.
It takes machinists to use 10 tons of machinery to make a 2 ounces part... lol Let's forget about the cost of maintaining a fully tooled shop... Are the girls out of the shop and busy somewhere else... ??? This tailstock will "Feel" so much better now... ;)
I thought keyway material was very soft (made to shear). While not applicable to this application I wouldn't think you would want to make a key out of just soft steel in applications where you would want key to sheer without doing damage to shaft or pully.
Key's are usually not designed to shear. Wear is better, but to much wear in the key will cause wear in the keyway and shaft. Knocking in reciprocating machinery is many time misdiagnosed as a problem with the driven machine when the problem is many time a worn key/keyway in the coupling device from the driver.
Looks good up there.
Thanks Tom.
Scotchbrite filter, top idea. Peter
Works great and is cheap.
Nice fix Randy.
Thanks Phil.
randy nice work.
Thank you Bob.
Nice Job Randy.
Steve
Thanks Steve. Worked out great. Question for you Steve, Your large setup block you made. Did you heat treat it?

Thanks Steve for the info.
Good job Randy! I had to do the same thing to my leBlond a few years ago it works a lot better afterwards.
Most used lathes need this. Thanks Mark

Thank you for watching and subscribing. I have mailed one of my scribes to Tasmania.
You've found the key to success again Randy. Good job. :-)
Thanks Colin. Worked perfect.
Hi I’ve just got my hands on a Clausing lathe 6913 and your videos have helped me so very much
Good deal. Thanks
Nice job on the key Randy 👍🏼
Just sumhtin from nuthin. Thanks.
That is quiet the hall of fame on that sticker board! Another project off the to do list for ya. Good work Randy.
Thanks Brian, one think at a time. Still a few more for the Clausing.
perfect job Randy !
Thanks Shawn.
Good video Randy . Using grinder again nice to have.
I am really loving using the grinder. Thanks Mike.
A well made parat as you always do. I was hoping for another video, seems like they don't come as often these days. Thanks for the video.
Well I have been out working and sick for the last week. I am shootin for one a week right now. Thanks Harold.
Looks good Randy, having the surface grinder seems really handy.
Thank you Bill. Nice tool.
I want a surface grinder so bad but can't find a small bench top one...
Well worth it Dave. I love using it. Next to build a heat treat oven. Thanks.
I hate you...LOL
Nice work as always Randy.👍👍👍👍
This makes me feel I should be taking a much closer look at my old tailstock! You got a great result :)
Wish I could set up a VFD - unfortunately, wrong type of motor. You made a super job of that control box.
Thanks Chris, well worth it.
Hi Randy. Great job. I'm trying to understand why that rotational movement is a problem. I can see that axial play is bad.
Thank you Jeffry. With a drill, especially larger ones, When the drill first makes contact and grabs for a cut the drill will want to turn with the work piece, with rotational play the drill can be knock loose from the taper. The more rotational play the easier and the more this happens. Very annoying.
A little new key never hurts to firm things up.. Nice job Randy, as good as new.
Thank you John.
A master at work, job done. Kindest regards joe.
Thank you Joe. Still a novice.
Thanks for showing me why my tail stock quill wiggles!....on the list!
Thank you Chuck. A good weekend project.

Nice job Randy, thanks for sharing it jim
Thanks Jim.
Hi Randy, good job on the filter, clean air is good air. The key turned out nice, I think it will do the job!
Thank you Patrick.
Nice job Randy. Can't wait for the next video.
Thank you.
Great sticker collection. I need to get some.
Thanks Steve. Work'n on it.
Good fix. I need to do a sticker swap with you.
Thank you Lee.
Thank you for putting up my sticker!
No problem Steven. Thanks.
Randy, nice repair. I had to clean up my lathe MT3 tailstock with a fine cut MT3 reamer due to rust and scoring. It wasn't much but I took too much off the internal barrel and had to slightly extend the internal left hand thread to allow easy ejecting the live centers and drill chucks.
Thanks Paul. Yes when working on tapers you have to be very careful, it does not take much to be to far.
Yes, I found this out the hard way and will be more careful next time, thanks
I was trying to find your working on the clausing lathe video but was not able to find it I was wondering what you do or use to clean your ways up so nicely? Thank you
Mineral spirits and a piece of marroon scotch bright, keep them well oiled with 220 wt way oil. Thanks John.
@@RRINTHESHOP So the maroon pads I think are to 220 grit the green pet R320 grid so the maron's OK
I hate auto correct
Nice fix for your lathe Randy. I think I need to do this to my Victor. It has as much wobble as yours used to.
Take Care,
Reid
Thanks Reid. Well worth the trouble.

My son now has the lathe. I do not know . Try McMaster Carr to find thrust washers. You will have to have an idea of the size.
@@RRINTHESHOPThanks for the great thoughts thanks!!! I measured the space in there and cut a disc from bronze bearing and used that and it worked like a charmed...... Keep up the great videos!!!!
Boy, sure helps when you have the right tools huh?
Nice job!
Razor!
Thanks Ray.

Yes you are correct. I do not run the fan often, maybe only in the summer. Thanks Les.

Overall yes Clausing's are very good. But it all depends on it's condition. Well hello Randy.
What vfd did you use
www.driveswarehouse.com/wj200-015lf Thank you Teddy.

Well worth the effort to fix. I need to do this to my Lance also.
Enjoyed Randy! Ever wonder how you survived without a surface grinder?
ATB, Robin
Thanks Robin, absolutely, I love using it. Now I need a set of your stones.
Randy, I need to make the same key for my Clausing Lathe. Did you have any dimensions on the new key? Thanks. Dave
David, Could you please send me an email to RRINTHESHOP@GMAIL.COM.
I will check.
Same here. Mine broke in exact same way. What was the length of the key ?
Send me an email to rrintheshop@gmail.com I can send you a drawing.
Nice job again Randy. You sound a bit nasally... I hope the cause clears quickly.
Thank you Peter, was a bit under the weather last week. But on the mend all good.
It takes machinists to use 10 tons of machinery to make a 2 ounces part... lol
Let's forget about the cost of maintaining a fully tooled shop...
Are the girls out of the shop and busy somewhere else... ???
This tailstock will "Feel" so much better now... ;)
Small part but the easiest way to make key, sure fit perfect. Thank you Pierre.
It looked like it at 14:30!
Nice Job Randy. You sound a little horse. Hope you are not coming down with something.

Yeah I have been sick for a week, but on the mend. Thanks Gary.

Sick for over a week and working, sucks. Finally some time in the shop. Thanks Dave.
