atlas

Hey all, I just recently joined the Atlas 7B club! I picked up the machine from a member a few weeks ago. I had to disassemble it somewhat to get it down my basement steps into my workshop. After getting it lifted up and re-mounted to the stand I want to ask you guys for some advice before I...

I just bought a craftsman 12in lathe 101.07383 after reading through some articles about the history of atlas craftsman lathes I determined it must be about a 1939 As it has the bronze "babbit" bearings in the head stock and a 12 in swing 42 in bed measured end to end and no power cross feed...

Im trying to figure out how old it is and where i might be able to find a new adjustment handle.

Short Version: Does anybody know the specifications for the Atlas 7B shaper pinion gear? The two most critical numbers I need to confirm are the number of teeth(easy) and the pressure angle(old gears, probably 14.5, but not sure). I believe it is a modified Boston Gear NF15B. It's fairly...

Hey guys just thought i would share this with you. Ive been looking for a tidy way to hold my tools holders for my oxa quick change post. Here is the solution that i came up with. 4.99 harbor freight magnetic strip attached to my pegboard. the tool holder dovetail inset fits it perfectly.

Hello all, I am looking for a medium-sized lathe (9-12" swing, 20-36" bed) preferably in the SE PA or DE area. I am working off a very limited budget, hence wouldn't be able to afford the latest and greatest. Ideally I would like a functional Emco Maximat (models 7 through 10), one of the...

Hi guys, A 15" vintage Atlas 73 floor drill press fell onto my lap (ouch), and I was hoping to get help here in buying the correct size bearings. Below is a screenshot from the manual: Do I just Google "2.05 bearings," or do I need more info? I just bought my drill. It's sitting in my car. I...

I recently purchased this Atlas 618 lathe. It is in working condition ... but has a few issues. I will be needing your help with getting the machine to run as it should. I will be posting my questions in this thread, as they arise from my inspection/testing. I have read just about everything I...

I was wondering if anyone knows of a gear to replace the S7-60 helical gears in the knee? The ones in this MFC seem to have seen better days. Was also wondering what size the thrust bearing is supposed to be. This machine just had some brass washers. Thanks!

I recently acquired an Atlas/Craftsman 12 x 36 lathe and I am trying to rewire it. The insulation on the wiring is deteriorated and I would like to convert it to 220 volts. It has a 3/4 HP Craftsman motor model # 113.196591 and a Furnas Style A-14 forward/reverse switch. I have not been able to...

New here and anyone who has seen me knows this is on my hit list.. I am a budding Machinist trying to get a start I have limited Room , I don't have shiny restored awesome collectible kind of money I have this is sitting in my basement and I don't use it kind of money , I know there was...

The short of it is that I'm brand new to machining, just starting on my "new" Atlas 3996 12"x36" that I got a few months ago. Problem: In turning, I consistently am getting a less than desirable finish on the part. You can feel the ridges in it. Sometimes it looks smeared, and sometimes it just...

I purchased a Craftsman 101.07301 6" lathe. I am interested in learning whether any of the 10" or 12" Atlas/Craftsman lathe parts would fit my lathe. Specifically interested in the hand crank for the carriage or tailstock. I've also been curious if the milling attachment from a 10" would work...

I have a 12x36 Craftsman lathe that I purchased a few months ago. I spent a lot of time getting it into good running condition but have noticed quite a bit of bed wear near the headstock, as is typical. I've looked at different options and the consensus seems to be "just deal with it," which...

I have out grown the capabilities of my trusted Craftsman "Commercial" 12" lathe. I'd like to sell it and I'm not sure what a fair market value will be. It is the later 101.28990 lower drive model. Even though it is a low hour unit, I was bored a couple of years ago and fully restored it...

I looked to try and find the best place to post this, apologies if I missed the mark. I've been wanting to get a lathe for some time now. I create kinetic metal art in my home shop, and I need a lathe to help me produce various parts and jigs. I received a little Christmas money, so in addition...

Hey all, I'm looking to buy my first lathe. I need opinions on brands people prefer and general pricing. I'm familiar with larger Lathes, but I cannot afford or fit one into the space I have in my townhouse. I've scoured Craigslist and several other online buying networks to try and find...
