| Clarkson Mark 1 Tool and Cutter Grinder |
| This is Gallery 6 |
It was described as:-
There is a motor and pulley arrangement that drives the holder in the Universal Head, something like a tool post grinder arrangement.
Note the home made stop that is attached to the pedestal base. I presume the stop is used to index the rotating Clarkson table. There is a screw to facilitate fine adjustment to the stop. I like that idea.
There are a couple of spare pulleys for the home made tool post grinder arrangement.
It looks like he has 'gone in' and traversed the surface with an endmill or something, to create the engine turned finish?
↓ Note the reducer on the dust extractor hood.
↓ Here is a nice selection of homemade bushes to hold various sizes of work.
↓ There is a nice view of the extension spindle, 2nd in from the left.
↓ The seller mentions 'the tool cabinet', but I do not think it was supplied by Clarkson as I have not come across any mention of this equipment before.
↓ There are two wheel guards, to suit different grinding wheel diameters.
↓ The end of the belt guard has been chopped off. What a shame.
↓ There is a home made tool holder, but no Universal Head.
↓ Only the top belt is required.
You bolt that is used to lock the rise and fall of the Head is non standard, and can be locked/unlocked with any small round bar of the correct size.
It is a shame it got so rusty.
↓ I think that says 2730 rpm.
Update 04-05-15 ... Arnold Bryan contacted me. He bought this machine and restored it to its former glory.
It was described as:- ''With Tool Pot and Some Collets, 3 Phase, Sold as Seen - No Returns''
The belt and guard are not in the picture.
↓ Notice the handle used to rotate the sleeve.
