Isn't the guard pictured an Atlas shaper guard?

No--it looks the same as mine on my atlas mill. Dave

No. The shaper guards are S7-102 and S7-145. M1-402B and M1-404 are the correct guard and hinge part numbers for at least MFC, M1C and MHC.

It has been a while since I posted in this thread... I have had a lot of personal problems that I wont go into here. I have however finally found time to finish cleaning and painting my little atlas here are a couple of new pictures.

That's gonna look sweet once it's re-assembled!

Very Nice Indeed!!!

That's looking real nice. I'm in the middle of cleaning up one of these mills myself, so I can appreciate the amount of work that you've put into yours.

The mill is looking great.

Jumping in late on this thread. I saw a previous discussion regarding bondo. Thought I'd throw my two bits in. I didn't think much of it at first myself, but then I saw what Steve Lindsay was doing to his machines. I've tried a little bit of it on my Bradford reconditioning. Looks pretty nice.

I don't know if you have your mill put back together at this point (since it's already October), but, if you haven't considered this already, you might want to replace the collar on the back of the spindle with a Hornady lock ring; night and day.

Any progress on the mill?

Regards,
Jeremy
