Clausing 8520 restoration
#1
Hi Guys,

Just wanted to start a thread about the restoration!Big Grin
So far most of it is done and painted.
Ordered a bunch of replacement bearings as the old ones were beyond repair. They were not bad but had a lot of tight spots that started to annoy me. Best to get it done while it is apart!

I hurt my neck and back a while ago so progress has been slow...:@

Last night i attacked the dirty brown Palmgren vise.
About 2 and a 1/2 hours later i ended up with a very nice and clean vise!Big Grin
Anyone know where to get replacement jaw inserts from?
I will do a small thread about the vise cleaning too!
I took lots of pictures and then got into it and forgot to take a few...Slaphead

As for the mill, i just need to sand and then prime and paint the main column! Then it is assembly time for most of the mill.

I have not disassembled the head yet. Will get to that soon.
Although SWMBO has other plans about renovating another room upstairs...Whip

Here is a teaser of some of the clean parts!

The odd looking surface is some rust preventative i am trying!
It is from an aerosol can and is a mix of oils and something called "Wool Wax"
So far it is keeping the surface nice and clean!
