ALERT -- Tool Gloat.
Got this home an hour ago. It's a Clausing 8520. The man needed parts, I needed a Mill. Done deal, I love that barter system.

Bill,
I'm glad you goy yours home safely. I bought a like new one 2 years ago, only to have the rigger (a term used loosely), due to their error, it dropped about 30 feet on to a concrete stairway, they swept up the residue and shoveled it into buckets.
Nice find Bill! (And a fine looking day to move it also!!)
Jack,, did they replace your'e mill or?
The rigger wrote me a check, I got what I paid, not what it was worth.
A mighty fine mill you have got yourself there Bill

Nice score Bill. What do/did you have to make in return?
I had to make 50 parts for him. .375 dia. X 2.510 long. One end had a "L' drill hole 1.500 deep. The other end drilled and tapped 5/16-24 .750 deep. The tapped end also had a .326 C/Bore .125 deep. Material was 416 SS. 8 hours work.

You got the best of that deal Bill. Nice looking mill.
Had to move the mill thru the house. Broke it down into 3 sections, base, main frame and head. Now to reassemble it. Pictures will follow this evening.
