Hello, I recently have gotten the carcass of an Atlas 1042. It is an F model I am currently cleaning it up and piecing it back together. I also have a Craftsman badged 618. steve

Mike,?Yes on thin wall (and relatively large diameters) like 0.75 or 1mm pitch on 42- 100 mm dia...Agree too, lots of different uses and needs.GregSent from my T-Mobile 5G Device

If you are doing telescope work, I imagine you are doing thin wall work that really needs to be single point threaded. Makes sense. Everyone has different needs. It is always interesting learning what

The answer is Yes* (note the star). The base unit can run any thread in 0.01mm increments which is 0.0004". Just input the numbers in metric format and you are done. for example, 3/8" = 9.525mm and

??? ??? They have the manuals available for free DL , I like the idea of being able to do tapers without a whole bunch of math , I wish I was better at ??? math

Looks great is the rockietronics available with imperial measurements

??? Here's a few pics of the Rocketronics mounted to a Myford Lathe . ??? animal I fitted my kit on my Myford ML10

??? ??? This is from one of the guys that bought the Rocketronics ELS , he seems happy with it . Still waiting for reports from some others that bought one ??? animal I got the basic and

Mike, If I had a QCGB I probably wouldn't be looking at an ELS. As others have said and in my case I routinely do metric threads as well as SAE. Mostly telescopes stuff so metric but some of

Thanks for the reply. I guess I didn't think about chatter since I can deal with that with a VFD controlling rpm. The metric thread cutting makes sense although I have just used a die holder. I was

There are other options on some of the versions. With some you can cut tapers others you can also ball turn.

Didn't get it for my Atlas, but my ELS was under half-price from John Dammeyer, full price was under $300. Still gotta buy an encoder, and connection stuff, but most of it I can build. That ELS is old

An electronic lead screw allows you to cut any pitch thread you want, SAE or metric. It will also allow you to use any feed rate you want. So, if you are developing some chatter and want to reduce

No offense intended here. I must be ignorant on the subject. Enlighten me on what I could do with an ELS that I could not do with a QCGB or a change gear set. I understand that change gears are a

Much appreciated. Thanks again

The serial number is probably very faint. I found that if I shined a light on it and viewed it on a angle, I could see it. It should be within three inches of the end. I’ll send you the

I'll try to find that tomorrow

Yes sir. 12 inch

Also, if you look at the right top side end of the front way, you can possibly find the serial number. Atlas kept a data base of the year it was made, but unfortunately they had computer problems and

I can email it to you. No charge. Is your lathe a 12” ?
