Parts from Clausing

Several people have mentioned both online and face to face that it is possible to order parts for my 101.07403 lathe from Clausing. On November 17, 2011 I had my first chance to deal with them and called 1-800-535-6553. A friendly human operator forwarded me to another friendly and efficient lady in the parts department.

She immediately emailed me a manual, which turned out to be the 6 page parts list that I had tracked down online. Not that this is useless - far from it; the exploded parts diagrams are worth their weight in gold to someone working on one of these lathes, even if they do not need to order parts.

Next I asked about the Atlas Manual of Lathe Operation that I have heard so much about. I was delighted to hear that it is available and in stock at the price of $25.00 and ordered a copy. I have heard many glowing things about this book, reported to be 240 pages of information useful in most cases to any lathe, not just Atlas.

So, Clausing gets my 5-star rating as a company I would be pleased and eager to do business with.
