Thanks Tom. I will be re -boreing the hole that my hand wheel shaft goes thru on the apron for my Clausing 5913. I plan to re-bore the casting and then bush it with an oilite bushing. I am sure the hole will not be round since it was just cast iron against the shaft. I'm sure everyone with an old lathe knows of this problem with he hand wheel. Any thots of how to set this up on the mill. As we all know the shaft has a gear that must mesh with another gear inside the apron. Nothing better than learning from someone who has already had his experience.
