It was described as:-

This is a well equipped Clarkson MK1 cutter grinder that we haven't used for a while as we have a larger machine.
It is listed as not working because the isolation switch which can be seen on the back of the machine has the top broken out so is unsafe and needs replacing , the machine does run fine, but needs to be checked out by an electrician to ensure that it meets current regulations.
The motor is three phase.
The slides are reasonable and the action is smooth.
The accessories with the machine are as follows:-
1. Workhead
2. Pair of Centres
3. 1" Bore Toolholder
4. No4 Morse Holder
5. 1" Arbor for bore cutters between centres
6. 3 Arbors for bore cutters in workhead(biggest one homemade)
7. Homemade endmill holder
8. 3/8" and 1/4" endmill holders (don't really belong)
9. Original book (bit rough but all there and very nice)
10. Table and crosslide toothrests
11. 1" OD x 3/8" ID tool bush .
Endmill in picture is just for demonstration as is grinding wheel.
Nothing else in the picture is part of the auction.

It was described as:-
''Here is a Clarkson Mk1 Tool Cutter & Grinder for spares/repairs
The base plate is cracked - see last picture. It has been repaired by bolting the faces together and is reasonably OK - certainly can still sharpen lathe tools which is how it was used.
3 Ph motor - worked when unplugged but this was a long time ago (3 years ish)
I have the belt cover but it needs some work to fix as the holding bolts are broken.
The drive belt is temporary - for testing only.
It seems a shame to scrap it - these are very useful and valuable machines when together - so I hope it will find a good home.
Starting price is scrap value.''
