Atlas Clausing Spindle thread protector

[minsk]

does any one know of a spindle protector for the 6" Clausing Atlas lathe? I just bought a milling attachment and a drawbar.(which cost two times more than my lathe)..now the threads are exposed. I don't know if i have the skills to make one yet...i also do not have an inside threading tool yet...

I bought a 1 1/2" - 8 nut from McMaster Carr for my 400 Logan.

Is that a 1-10 thread on that lathe? You should be able to find a standard nut that will fit.

i think it is 1"-10. wacab told me it was.

 

[JimDawson]

Exactly what model number is the lathe?

It's proabaly a 1-10 thread. But could be a 1-8 Count the number of thread peaks in 1 inch. But in either case a standard nut is available.

Minsk, want to have some fun?

I have an 618 with 10 tpi spindle and made a sort of unorthodox protector.



Sometime we do stuff just to see if we can....but it works great and is unique.
