Can anyone tell me where I can buy O Rings for a Dale Clemens Lathe also what is the size exactly?
Renzetti ones will work- are there any others out there? Any info would be very helpful. Thanks Re: O-Rings for a Dale Clemens rod lathe

Which o rings are you talking about? The o rings that are on the rod holder wheels? Re: O-Rings for a Dale Clemens rod lathe

If you have any industrial machinery supply companies in your area, give them a try. Most will have assorted sizes of large O-rings.

John, Billy Vivona has replacement "O" Rings for the Clemens & Renzetti lathes. Send hin an e-mail, I'm sure he would be happy to help. Re: O-Rings for a Dale Clemens rod lathe

Any hydraulics supply house will have them. They are used on hydraulic hoses.
Look in the phonebook under hydraulics. Kevin Re: O-Rings for a Dale Clemens rod lathe

If you Google "o-rings", you will find a lot of places that sell them. I needed to replace the large one that is the belt drive on my PacBay wrapper, but did not want to pay catalog prices. I was able to get 10 for about $18 and they seem to work fine. You just need to get the exact measurement (diameter and thickness of the ring).

I've got a ton of O-rings to fit a Clemens or Renzetti lathe, I got Viton rubber which is better than what was supplied with my Clemens lathe and last much longer. The cost is $1 per O ring.
Here are the properties of the Viton rubbr O rings: Viton® Properties Vulcanizates based on Viton® fluoroelastomers provide an exceptional balance of physical property characteristics including the following features: 1. Resistance to temperature extremes: Heat Viton® withstands high temperature and simultaneously retains its good mechanical properties better than most other elastomers. Oil and chemical resistance also are relatively unaffected by elevated temperatures. Compounds of Viton® remain usefully elastic indefinitely when exposed to laboratory air oven aging up to 204°C (400°F) or to intermittent test exposures up to 260°C (500°F Cold Viton® is generally serviceable in dynamic applications down to -18° to -23°C (0° to -10°F), although special formulations permit its use in static applications down to -54°C (-65°F). Also, Viton® has proven to be satisfactory for static seals used under conditions approaching absolute zero. 2. Resistance to degradation by a greater variety of fluids and chemicals than any non-fluorinated elastomer, providing the best proven fluid resistance of any commercial rubber. Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, lubricants, and most mineral acids. 3. Extremely low permeability to a broad range of substances, including particularly good performance in oxygenated automotive fuels. 4. Resistance to many aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon fluids that act as solvents for other rubbers. 5. Exceptionally good resistance to compression set, even at temperatures which can embrittle other non-fluorinated elastomers. 6. Exceptionally good resistance to atmospheric oxidation, sun, and weather. Excellent resistance to fungus and mold. 7. Good electrical properties in low voltage, low frequency applications. 8. Low burning characteristics; inherently more resistant to burning than other non-fluorinated hydrocarbon rubbers. Re: O-Rings for a Dale Clemens rod lathe

John,
For your lathe, you don't need a fancy O-ring. If you have one wear or rot out, simply put on a new one. Go to your local hardware store to the plumbing department and pick up as many as you need for a few cents each. You can also pick up the o-ring drive belts - if your lathe uses this style ring to drive the lathe as well. Simple and easy. Take care Roger Re: O-Rings for a Dale Clemens rod lathe

I never found ones tht fit from a local source, and I'm not alone with that - by the time people drove around wasting gas, maybe not even finding one that fit properly, and having them break after a short period - I would think it would be a lot cheaper to buy fancy ones that definitely fit and last substantially longer. All you need to go is go to your mailbox to find them. There was a reason why I ordered them, and why a dozen other guys got in on that original order when it was placed last summer on another local fishing website.

The Viton rings end up being a nearly "lifetime" ring. They last much, much longer before they start drying and cracking. They're well worth paying a little bit more. They end up being less expensive in the long run.

Billy,
Will you have them available at the ICRBE? Thanks, Sam Re: O-Rings for a Dale Clemens rod lathe

If you have a Clemens lathe it is unlikely a Renzetti. I have had mine for 25 years and called Renzetti on Monday about replacement O rings and they informed me that they still use the same roller O rings that came with my lathe. They cost $2.00 each but they are available. Commercial O rings don't quite seem to fit tightly enough and have come off at times.

If you have the Clemens lathe it is either a Renzetti or a copy of the Renzetti. The wheels used on the roller supports are the same.

Sam, I will bring what I have left, I've had a few guys order O rings yesterday, so if I sell out of my stock then I won't have any left to bring. IT's easier to just order them right now sinc eI'm gonna stick them in an envelope and not charge any shipping, so you're not saving anything waiting a month except that I might sell out and you won't be able to get them.
As stated, teh REnzetti & Clemens have the exact same wheels, I've sold these o-rings to people with both units. We also got these made a little tighter, so that when turning the ring doesn't "bubble up", they fit nice and snug and don't pop off like the other ones I had which came with my Clemens. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
