Clausing Colchester 15 x 50 Engine Lathe

Clausing Colchester engine lathes support inch, metric, diametral pitch, and module pitch threading through a universal gearbox. The 8044VSJ offers 73 inch pitches (2–84), 51 metric pitches (0.2–14mm), 27 module pitches, and 27 diametral pitches, making it suitable for a wide range of threading applications in manufacturing and repair environments.

The Clausing/Colchester 8044VSJ offers 3 infinitely variable speed ranges covering 15 to 2500 RPM via an AC inverter drive. The broader Clausing C-Series spans 7 to 2500 RPM across 12 to 18 discrete speeds depending on model, accommodating everything from large slow-turning workpieces to high-speed finishing cuts.

The Clausing/Colchester 8044VSJ provides 15.75 inches swing over bed and 23 inches swing in the gap. The Clausing C-Series extends up to 70 inches swing over bed, making it suitable for extremely large-diameter turning applications in oil field, marine, and heavy manufacturing environments.

Yes. The Clausing C-Series engine lathes are specifically listed for oil field, oil country, and marine/shipbuilding applications. Their large spindle bore options (up to 24.02 inches), wide swing capacities, and robust construction make them well-suited for heavy-duty components common in these demanding industries.

Clausing engine lathes include a one-year warranty backed by the Clausing Service Center. The 8044VSJ also includes a 4-year parts and labor warranty specifically on the AC inverter drive. T.R. Wigglesworth Machinery Co. provides phone and on-site technical support, installation services, and user training to ensure optimal performance.

Yes. Both the Clausing Engine Lathe and the 8044VSJ feature a removable gap plate that allows large face plates to be mounted directly onto the spindle nose. This expands the effective turning diameter, enabling large-diameter facing and turning operations that would otherwise be impossible with a standard flat-bed configuration.
