Re: Cross feed lever modification
开云体育Dave, ? The following assumes that you were actually referring to a lever operated cross feed for the 3991. ? If you were actually referring to the lever actuated power crossfeed on the final version 12”, it can be retrofitted to the 3991.? You will need to drill and tap two holes in the apron plus acquire the necessary parts.? You might be able to buy them from Clausing.? And just ignore the rest of this. ? Otherwise, ? Up until about 1965, Atlas (or Clausing) sold what they called a Cross Slide Turret that replaced the standard cross slide and compound.? From the mid 1930’s until 1956, they sold a 10” and a 12” version (or they sold the 10” and Sears sold the 12”).? From 1957 until 1966 they sold a revised version for the 12” and although probably still available, the 10” wasn’t in the catalogs.? Anyway, as an option, they sold the No. 710 Lever Operator, which would fit your 3991. ? To see what it looks like, log into the A-C group on groups.io and go to Files.? Click on 28 Manuals, Atlas or Atlas-Craftsman Lathe Accessories.? Find and download Atlas Cross Slide Turret No. 6637 For Late12" .pdf?.? The lever and all of the parts associated with it are shown in there.? From the disassembly instructions prior to the lever assembly, I believe that one thing is missing.? I think that you will need to remove the spur gear and woodruff key that you will find on the cross-feed screw after you remove the bearing and then remove the screw. ? The link that ties the bottom of the lever to the apron attaches to an existing screw (or a slightly longer version of it) on the front of the apron. ? Probably the reason that the lever isn’t in the catalogs after 1965 is that the link would be in the way of the power cross feed lever that isn’t present on a 3991. ? Robert Downs ?

Re: Faceplate & Dogs
Has anybody used the adjustable dogs?
Are there issues with those? They seem like an economical way to go if? you aren't turning between centers all the time or if you are doing a wide variety of sizes a lot.? If doing it occassional and when you do, it is always a different size then I could see how it could be useful. Just curious.? Thanks, Jody |

Re: New Member
I am all for keeping Clausing interested in supporting we owners of the old
Atlas machines. But I prefer to do it by buying parts from them. Most of the manuals on the Atlas and Craftsman machines are available in our Files area. And in many if not most cases, the quality is better because many of them were cleaned up and some corrections made in some of them before they were converted to PDF’s and uploaded. While I am on the subject of manuals, there is one exception. Except for the threading section from a 2nd Edition MOLO that covers the 10 through 10D and the early 12”, there are no scans of complete MOLO’s in Files. The reason for that is that the 33rd Edition of the MOLO (the final revision) is still available new from Clausing. So to avoid any chance of being accused of copyright infringement, we decided not to allow copies of the MOLO’s in Files. If you have a late 12” with the slip clutch on the lead screw, the MOLO that was written for your machine is still available from Clausing. If you ignore the instructions for setting the slip clutch, it will also apply to the first version of the late 12”. Or on any given day, you can often find a good used correct edition/version on eBay. If you have a 3/8” bed Craftsman 12” or a 10”, and especially if your machine has babbit spindle bearings, you can usually find an appropriate edition on eBay. But as most eBay sellers don’t know anything about what they are selling, you will probably have to ask some questions first in order to find the correct version. In any case, download from Files and read the MOLO history and then the short document on choosing the right version.

Re: Faceplate & Dogs
Carvel,
You are right to correct me.? The correct term would be driveplate for what I'm talking about.? So I'm looking for a driveplate and I can't imagine I would need one bigger than 6".? The reason I asked about dogs is that I've come across dogs that have a straight leg and it rides against a straight drive pin that is threaded into a driveplate.? There are some on Little Machine Shop.?? I don't really see if there is anymore versatility in that setup or not.? Just curious what guys were using and if a 6" driveplate is sufficient. Thanks for correcting my terminology Carvel. -Jody |
