Marty
Keeper of the List
Atlas/Craftsman Group; Question & Info:
Am I in the right group? I hear Atlas/Craftsman/AA mentioned as Origins
for the
Atlas. I have info which may or may not be of use to members, because my
provenance (origin)is from Atlas Press Co. of Kalamazoo MI.
My Lathe Nametag reads:
Atlas
Clausing Corp.
Kalamazoo, Mich. 95001
and my Serial tag reads mod. # 3950; Ser. # 00074
The Atlas I have was made around 1970 (I think). It's 6" throw and has a
#2 Morse Taper. The spindle is threaded 1"-10thd. The company is kaput.
Tip #1
A source of parts and manuals for MY atlas was;
Clausing Industrial Inc.
Service Center
P.O. Box 877
Goshen, IN 46527-0877
(219)533-0403
I got an owner's manual from them, and they have many parts for my unit.
They also have a website.
Tip #2
Since I also cut wood on my lathe I have another source for chucks for
that purpose. I use the Nova Scroll Chuck, which is excellent, but the
thread inserts were not available locally. So I went direct to:
Latalex Ltd.
65 The Concourse
Henderson, Auckland
New Zealand
They provided one at local prices and at no cost in shipping. They too
have a website.
SO; if anyone wants to tell me I'm in the wrong club, or wishes more info
e me.
