Clarkson T&C grinder

Webbed Angle Plate 5 x 5 x 5in

I suspect shipping to New Zealand will make this less of a bargin. It is slight shorter than the original.

Yes, cast iron is readily available here

Hi Ian

A bit late to this thread but with regard to your lack of workhead for your Clarkson; your picture of the radius attachment shows that it has a spindle in place. If I am not mistaken this would be tha same spindle used in the workhead and so would be a good starting point for building your own workhead. If it is a Clarkson spindle it will be hardened and ground and by the look of the picture the spindle has a sleeve in it which Clarkson supplied for holding their cutters so you have a start for your cutter holding items. Hope this helps

Well I have the radius attachment stripped down and cleaned up, even the original paint is in pretty good condition.

All the grease in the bearings had gravitated to the bottom bearing and the top bearing had grinding dust in it, very much like the dust the attachment was covered in.

I've repacked the bearings, they are unshielded, and refitted the spindle and bearings into the body. I need to make a couple of pieces before I refit the table and other parts.

Does anyone have the MkII radius attachment?

If someone does, would it be possible to send me the measurements of the adjustable Z bracket fitted to the dovetail slide and also the bracket that holds the flute support finger.

The spindle fitted to mine has the 1 1/4" hole, looking at the information online I see there is a spindle that takes 1"OD bushes, I am assuming these spindles aren't easy to come by so will probably have to make one.

Any information on the Z bracket for the radius attachment would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ian
