Atlas/Craftsman Serial Numbers and Bearing Dates (if applicable) For Database Entries

[Pevehouse]

Edited with title change 20200627

In the combined machine database (742 entries to date) there are 180 10" entries, 21 of which show no serial numbers. There are 113 Craftsman entries, 19 or which show no serial numbers. Plus we only have 30 10" and 22 12" bearing dates for Timken equipped 10" or 12".

Anyway, anyone with any Atlas built machine (not just lathes) who doesn't remember for sure entering your machine into the old Yahoo database or giving it to me recently, please send me the model number; bed length, serial number (including any prefix or suffix letters), type (10F, 10D, etc.), and if it has Timken bearings, the bearing dates if you know them. If no bearing dates are available, then anything that would give the original purchase date (no guesses, please). Also any comments you wish to make about condition, accessories, when and where purchased, price, etc.
If your machine is a MK2 6", there is a somewhat more detailed questionnaire also in this sticky area. If you've responded to that questionnaire, no response is needed here.

Thanks, Robert D.

Would this also include 7B Shapers or lathes only?

Sorry about the super long delay in replying, but Yes, anything built by Atlas, Atlas-Clausing or Clausing-Atlas is appropriate.

Jim,

A belated Thanks for the serial number and bearing dates. Just stumbled across your post. Don't know how I missed it at the time.
