Re: Atlas 10 TV36 4 step Drive Pulley
You can search for 10F parts as they are the same as your lathe.? The V stands for vertical location of the motor shaft.? Search EBay is the best option.?

? Good evening folks.
I acquired this Atlas 10 TV36 lathe last year. Not had much time to put it to use but I bought it because it was in good condition and within my area (it is hard to have equipment send via pallet where I live).

I'm new to this type of machine and need to be able to adjust the speed. However, as you can see from the pictures, there is only a single drive pulley.
I was told from another owner that I'm looking for a 19mm (3/4) bore keyway 150/125/100/75mm.
Would someone be able to inform me if this is correct, and if so, are there an UK based suppliers where I can purchase one?
Thanks for you time

Re: Ideas on getting free/inexpensive stock/scraps
Glad to know it was more than user error causing my poor results. It
is a little discouraging when the dross outweighs the product.
Between the aluminum can fiasco and starting a magnesium fire, I
have become more selective on my choice of scrap to melt.

Re: Ideas on getting free/inexpensive stock/scraps
Definitely true. WHenever I have to cut them, I'll use a cutoff wheel because I don't feel bad about burning those out. They're good to weld though.

Re: Ideas on getting free/inexpensive stock/scraps
I take my cans to the scrap yard and sell them for scrap and buy diesel pistons.
for 3 reasons,?
1.? better grade of aluminium, probably one fo the best grade of cast aluminium available at a scrap yard.
2. much less "loss",? IE an experienced caster, a sculpture professor at University of Kentucky where I learned casting told me you will lose about half the weight of the cans when casting because the paint and interior coatins burn off, and some aluminium is lost to dross
3 the end results are much better for me.? castings are much less porous, better finish.
Given the price I receive from cans here in central Kentucky is 2/3 the cost of "dirty aluminium", and the loss of half the weight of the cans, I end out ahead in the long run.? diesel pistons should be always considered "dirty aluminium" because of the steel rings cast inside the pistons.? The rings melt out of the piston, (they do remain solid in the melted alumium) and fall out of the crucible at the end of the pour when I scrape dross etc out of the crucible.

Great ideas all.? As far as it being dangerous pouring
aluminum...been pouring molten metal literally since I was a kid.?
Old enough also to have come from a total DIY family/mindset so
what was unfamiliar meant educate yourself thoroughly, use common
sense and take personal responsibility if you mess up.? ??
In fact, for the fun of it, it might be interesting to melt cans
anyway (no return on them in Ohio like in Oregon and I probably
could a lot of them), find what is needed to make a good alloy,
and make it.
I have a 10" Atlas that was used years ago in a factory for???? I
am guessing it will handle anything I would want to throw at it.?

Re: Ideas on getting free/inexpensive stock/scraps
If tou want to melt aluminum,? go get some damage aluminum rims. Better quality aluminum.

Re: Ideas on getting free/inexpensive stock/scraps
I’ve read where some bed frames are made of recycled railroad tracks. That’s why there is some hardened steel from the top of the rails as part of the iron.?

Re: Craftsman Lathe 101.07403
I think that the high precision line of bearings from Timken is called Fafnir.

The product numbers for the Timkin tapered roller bearings are 16150 for the cone and 16284 B for the cup. This assembly is currently available in Standard Precision (Class 2), but what precision bearings did the lathe originally come with. There is a
3 engraved on the cup & cone of the bearing set. Could that be the class of precision?

Re: Ideas on getting free/inexpensive stock/scraps
True on bed frames; it is very high carbon, BUT if you have the ability to forge that material it makes excellent tools.

Greetings,
I’m working on getting the subject lathe up and running. The Timkin tapered roller bearings on the spindle were made in June 1946, so I figure the lathe was produced when Craftsman started selling lathes after WW2. I would like to know what precision class
the original tapered roller bearings were. Would they have been Standard (Class 4 or 2), or would they have been Class 3. It is my understanding that Timkin ?Class 3 tapered roller bearings are no longer available for the subject lathe. Is that correct?

Re: Ideas on getting free/inexpensive stock/scraps
Sell the cans and use the money to buy aluminum stock. Faster,
cheaper, better material.

Yes, I have a local Tractor supply etc. where I can buy metal. But
as with most subjects, I find experienced people have tricks up
their sleeve. I just want some stuff to learn to turn with. B/c I
am not experienced I am thinking old railroad spikes, making a
forge and melting aluminum cans (I know its low grade, but i just
want to learn to make chips with different metals), large bolts,
etc. But what are some ideas other hobbyists have found for
obtaining metal to turn while not cracking open the wallet and
shelling out big bucks? I don't even have projects in mind really,
just wanting the hands on experience with different metals.
Thanks for any ideas,
Lee
