Hi,
New to the forum and Lathe operation but interested to learn!
I have inherited this lathe and associated tools. I know it's an Atlas but don't know the model or year. No serial number plate. Would be interesting in finding out what I have and if parts are available?
The tool post seems to be a little low and I can't seem to get tool adjusted to the correct height. I assume this is an aftermarket part so maybe it doesn't fit correctly with this lathe?? Not sure, but I'm happy to put some money into her to make her a usable machine so any recommendations are appreciated.
I'll be using it mainly to make bushings in 660 bronze and some mild steel spacers. Nothing spectacular, just starting simple to learn the ropes.
