Rare as hen’s teeth so far as I can tell.I spoke with Robin Hood this morning. The Standard Modern 11-20 (almost 13" swing?) has a footprint of 26X45 ish... They are Metric-only or Imperial-only, until you make your own 120/127 change gear. Nice solid machines, def thinking about.
Did you check with Clausing? I was surprised at how many parts were available from them for my old Atlas 618. That was 10 years ago however.One of the things that worries me about buying the Clausing is the half nuts as they are not available from Clausing.
So a bit of Google-fu found this:
Hmmm
Straightforward enough for any lathe really. And he could have condensed the two videos into a 3 minute one.One of the things that worries me about buying the Clausing is the half nuts as they are not available from Clausing.

I bought a spindle sander from a fellow who had 9” SM. I remarked that I’d buy it if he wanted to sell it.A bit of a drive but,,,,,

There was a lot of three SM1120's come up at auction a while back out east but I don't remember seeing any out this way..
Where was this????The shop selling the SB9a and the CX600 also has a Clausing 100 with gearbox sitting out on the porch. I asked him about selling it but got a very guarded, not sure about selling it response. I'm guessing he has a price but I don't think I'd want to pay it.
Right, thanks Mike!This is the SB9a and CX600 in Sooke

I don't what it would take to pry the Clausing from his hands. It supposedly works but condition is questionable.
Maybe so but sometimes the madness has to stop I’ve got my Grandfathers lathe, Dads lathe & his shaper, and my lathe.I bought a spindle sander from a fellow who had 9” SM. I remarked that I’d buy it if he wanted to sell it.
Messaged him last week. No way he’d sell it as it was his fathers. Can’t really blame him.
Unless the Clausing is completely clapped out I expect I'll pick it up. If I recall correctly he also has an RF45 mill which I'm also going to ask aboutYou could do worse. I am frankly concerned about the Weiss/BB quality. When I visited the BB showroom last, I was unimpressed. But with some work, I think it can be made into a good lathe, but it's fitments wre lousey.
