Atlas 618 Mods Thread

thanks, plenty more to come, just have to find the time to do it!
 
thanks Pat, it's the bomb! Love it to bits. I'm starting to put a similar set up on my drill press/ "mill", but go side tracked with replacing a few bushings on the lathe first..
 
neat! I can't wait to do mine, the available speeds and the hassle of changing speed has bugged me since I got it.
 
added Gits oil cups to the carriage handwheel and half nut lever, in addition to the carriage ways. Makes oiling a lot easier! Just have the countershaft to do (next on the list) then all the oiling points bar the cross slide with have oil cups.

The original wiper covers all have an oil hole that fits the Eagle 66 nozzle perfectly. I didn't realize that the 6" didn't have an oil port for the half nut lever and scroll.
