Lathe cleanup pix

My poor lathe has been painted a time or two too many. Did you have an accident with the speed and feed table, sorta looks like a wire brush got away from you.

The little brother to this lathe is a current thread on HSM. Very clean.

Btw, did you get your belt(s) yet? What does the drive sound like?

That's why I am removing all paint that I can get to.

It was not me. The clutch handle was somewhat incorrectly located and bumped into the speed and feed table too many times. I have adjusted its position and it no longer does so, but the feed table is damaged. If Clausing has a replacement and it is inexpensive, I will replace it.

Looks very nice. I am envious of the looks. Since this lathe looks like it is a good one, and I hope to keep it for a long time, I want mine to look good as well. I am cleaning it everywhere , stripping off old paint etc, and will paint it when it is fully stripped.

I did, but I did not install them yet. I was busy fixing the Clausing drill press, I want to get rid of it as soon as possible to free up space.

Umm.. Why are you doing this with the lathe still assembled?
