Re: Cool Ideas on youtube
He had a video testing inserts and the video identifies the insert you are referring to. Maybe within the last two years

If this is the Atlas 10-256 bull gear pin, there's a drawing in files. I've attached a copy to this message. It is for the 10F lathes, but the file info says for all 10 & 12 inch lathes. And I looked at the photo on the ebay part, and it looks like the part in the drawing. A Unimat should be able to do the job.? ?: )?

Thanks guys, Found one on Ebay. I just think $45. + $15. for shipping is a bit pricey. Guess I'll have to make one.

Easy enough to find at eBay. Look it up!

Re: Cool Ideas on youtube
I believe the finish has to do with the material he uses.? Try asking him on his channel.?

He makes a bunch of interesting pieces , is anyone able to identify the
inserts he uses ? He gets some mirror finishes on his turnings but I
have not found mention of what insert he's using on any of his projects? .
thanks

If you’re looking for a very durable finish, try powder coating.?

Thanks Kevin, it’s nice to get another opinion. Going to list it and see what happens.?

--Hi William, I'm maybe 75 miles east of the Falls, around Rochester NY.? There's one listed in the area right now for $1250.?
?
I routinely search Craigslist in a 100 mile radius of Rochester (Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse) and the prices are in the range Will gave, $US. Also dependent on what tooling is included.? The one I shared has a fair amount of tooling., ie the milling attachment alone, to the right person, might sell for $100-$200 on it's own.? On CL if the price is a super deal, it's gone with in hours, OK deal maybe a few days, a little high it sits for awhile.? This one has been listed for about a month.?

?I bought a lathe nearly identical to that one (model TH54, Timken spindle bearings, Horizontal countershaft, 54" bed. The model number is on the tailstock end of the bed), about a year and a half ago from near Peterborough, ON. I got a decent selection of accessories with it (change gears, steady rest, a couple small boxes of HSS tooling, spindle and tailstock Jacobs's chuck, wood turning tool rest, lantern tool holders and tool post, 4 jaw chuck, dead centers, some boring bars, and wood turning chisels) for $600 CAD. That was a particularly good deal though. In Ontario, it seems pretty common for 10" Atlas lathes listed for $1000-$1200, so I'd think that probably sell for $800-$1000 without having to sit on it too long. If you're willing to wait longer and depending on the accessories, you might be able to get more. Will On Apr 17, 2025, at 9:25 AM, William Easby via groups.io <ballucanb7@...> wrote:
