Comments:
Have a Clausing Model 100 mk3 standard lathe which has been in our family since the 1960's. My father had bought the lathe from a retired machinist and spent many nights make/rebuild parts. I have had this great lathe for 20 years now.

I have had visitors ask me a lot of questions when they see this lathe. It would be great to date this lathe and who the original purchaser was. There is no data plates other the serial number '5396' stamped into right side of the bed. Reached out to Tom McNett at Clausing to see what they had on their records. He responded today with this response...
“Our records show that this is a Model 102 and it shipped to Indus. Elec. On 11/15/46. This is all the info I have on it.“

Currently getting to upgrade the lathe with quick change gear box and advance apron. Disassembled lathe, heavy cleaning, fresh paint, installing new parts, Will be completed in October 2020
