Clausing 8530 undergoing a complete restoration. New motor is a used Baldor 1 hp dc. Controled by a Baldor BC 345 controller. All bearings had to be replaced. I'll figure out how to post pictures.

Show us your milling machine!

I'd enjoy seeing some images of the scraping process, assuming you have them.

I bought this Benchmaster M-V1 as a rusted pile of parts , it took me about 5 months to get it finished . Some of the stuff I did , new Timkens in the head stock , a new "Z" nut , new right angle gears in the knee , and a new motor from Grizly . Of course new paint . Rust-Oleum , that stuff goes on nice and holds up well to oil . I got the little 3" vise from the bay , I say good for 60 bucks . It takes #2 morse collets . These Benchmasters are nice little machines but they have their limitations , for milling they are light duty . I haven't tried to drill with it yet , but I think it should do that pretty well , except they don't have a quill like a drill press .

Note that you can attach pictures directly to your posts. Some of these off-site picture services, e.g., Flickr, don't always play nice with older browsers.
