Hi guys,

I’ve recently bought a Clarke CL500M and can’t get the mill head to operate.

When you engage the clutch for the mill head there’s no drive. I’m sure that the clutch is fully engaged. The large works perfect.

Any ideas why I can’t get the mill head to turn?

thanks

That should read lathe works perfect

Are the belts fitted?

[Robert CarsonParticipant @robertcarson20547]

Yes the belts are fitted

The Clarke parts list is available here

and the Operating manual here

May help ?

Robert,

Ive just found this thread, did you fix the mill on your lathe.

I've had one of these for 25 years (and am content with it). The movable collar needs a good shove to get from lathe to mill drive, and vice versa. There is a mid-position that feels like full engagement, but it's not.
