He Bob, you wouldn't want to buy my 12x36 wouldja? :-)
The AA's had a MUCH smaller spindle. 1/2" if I remember correctly.
So you bought a "junk yard dog" and brought it back to life for a
time?
Marty
Thanks Marty,
I just wondered if the AAs or 109s had the same spindle as mine in case I
"part-out" my little beastie.. It's a 6" Atlas (Not Craftsman) which was
made at least up until 1981. It's the Model 3950. It too has a 1" - 10
thd. I know because I made four faceplate/chuck backs for it. It's not
enough lathe for me (I was a machinist). I'd like to sell it and get a 12
x 36. But I've only seen ONE on the newsgroup and that person didn't
return my post. You are to be commended for a smashing job. Thanks for
ram-rodding this little shindig. If you hear of other Mod. # 3950 Atlases,
let me know, please. I'd like to sell and trade-up. Probably to a Chinese
lathe. I'm afraid the mystique of old iron doesn't attract me. All we had
at our shop WAS old iron. Not everything old is good as some of these
over-romantisized postings would seem to indicate. Keep up the grand work.
Bob T Oh, bye-the-bye, there IS a picture of my lathe on a Brit site,
