Jay,
How can one tell the bearing type without any disassembly?
Also, how can one determine the machine's age or production year?
Thanks,
Don

Welcome to our group Don! ?You came to the right place. ?Is your 618
equipped with roller bearings or babbet bearings?
The 618¡¯s are good machines for light home work. ?I rarely use the mill
attachment I have as it is only for very light work
and hard to view the cut when it is in use.
Fair Winds,

Hi,
I'm new to the group. I've done virtually no machining since high school
(over 40 years ago), but in the last year have acquired an Atlas 618, an
identical Sears lathe with the milling attachment and a Levin lathe. The
618 was working before disassembly for moving. The Sears hadn't seen use
in decades, though it still looks to be in good condition. I've got
manuals for both and numerous accessories. The Levin hadn't seen use in
some years and needs restoration. The Levin was bought by NASA in the
early 60's and was used to make parts that went to the moon. I'm a
software engineer by trade, but like projects at home.
That's it,
Don
