Found a Clausing 20

[Bachhus]

After searching for over a year I finally found a good enough deal. Clausing 20 seems to be in pretty good condition for the $600 I spent. I know people have found them for way cheaper but no deals like that around me. Motor is a 460v so I’ll have to change the motor out but still a deal to me. Not a fun thing to move by yourself that’s for sure.

That pedestal is pretty cool. I haven't seen one. Thank God for the table lift huh!?

Would you consider a VFD to run with the existing motor and give yourself variable speed? I realize it's got a Reeves drive but my impression is thoscan be less than ideal.

Yeah that’s my plan, find a 240v 3 phase and run a VFD. I don’t have 480, just a regular neighborhood garage unfortunately.
