Re: My Frankenstein Atlas
I think Roberts advice is sound: get a new headstock if you want to operate the lathe as originally intended. With that said, the mods you described ¡°sound reasonable¡± if there is in fact a VFD

Re: My Frankenstein Atlas
Robert, I was really down and out when I saw what had been done. This is the sort of dumb jury rigged things people sometimes do who work on there own cars. I never expected this from a machinist.?

Re: My Frankenstein Atlas
The headstock at least certainly qualifies for ¡°Frankenstein¡±. The gear and whatever that is under it did not come from Atlas. My guess is that the PO had an eddy current sensor sensing the very

Re: Quick Change Post changed to lathe color
Actually, over the 21 years that Sears sold the 3/8¡± bed 12¡± and sleeve bearing 6¡± lathes, they changed the color maybe every two or three years. We¡¯ve seen several shades of green, blue, red

My Frankenstein Atlas
I read the manual on how to remove the headstock spindle and what I read and what I saw made no sense. First, there is supposed to be a collar held in place by a set screw. The collar is inside the

Re: Quick Change Post
Only problem I foresee is that the QC center bolt does not have a lot of thread engagement with a flat nut as you describe. Hugh 618, QC12, Atlas sharper & mill

Re: Quick Change Post changed to lathe color
Stan, the milling attachment was an option that crossed over to more than one lathe. It had its own color that may or may not have matched the owner's lathe, when purchased. Even the year of

Re: Quick Change Post changed to lathe color
I looked online at the color for K08309007. It pretty much matches what is on the lathe which contradicts the color of the milling attachment. However, like you said, it is my lathe and so I can paint

Re: Quick Change Post changed to lathe color
Lathes that were sold as Craftsman came in a color close to the current Krylon-Industrial Regal Blue (part number K08309007). You may not find this in home centers and may have to order it online, as

The color of your lathe brings up another question I have. I am in the process of removing and checking everything out and so this will be a good time to paint it because it needs it. It is painted a

Re: Quick Change Post
No Tee-nut needed for the QCTP. I used a length of ground flat bar, 5/16 x 1 x 2 11/16 (T W L). I made my own bolt then drilled and tapped a hole to match the bolt. Threaded the bolt in so it was just
