Everybody does know...right?
I can't remember if I read it in an earlier post or not. But there is a very useful "official" Atlas web site (by Clausing) that has a lot mog good info on these old machines. Take a look: Look under the heading of "Atlas oldies but goodies". If everyone already knows this then I'll take 12 lashes with a wet noodle. If not, don't say I never told ya. And this time when I told you about a web site I remembed to give the actual address. See, you can teach an old dog new tricks! Steve Blancard

AFAIK, Atlas only made flat-way lathes. This was one of the principal cost-cutting measures, as I recall, that brought their lathes into the realm of being affordable by the home user. I haven't been around enough 'other' lathes to even offer a hint as to what it might be - hopefully someone else here can. Also try posting on r.c.m if you meet with no success here - there is a VAST knowledge base there.

help with ID
Bink
I recently acquired a very old lathe which the previous owner said was
an Atlas. However I am not so sure. There are several layers of old paint flaking off and I cannot find any markings anywhere on the lathe, no name tag, no model #, no serial #. The lathe is approximately 11" x 28". The cover over the change gears just hangs on - it is not bolted or hinged. The reversing gears are shifted with a small lever that tension is applied to by means of a 'spur' wheel. The ways are flat inside which the tailstock rides on and prismatic outside which the carriage rides on. The spindle is threaded for 1锟�" - 12 which is apparently unusual. This lathe needs a lot of work but I would like to know what I have. Any help identifying the manufacturer and/or model would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bink ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com |

Re: AA Files in the RCM Drop Box
Fred Clepper
I am a newbe here and have been in the live steaming group for sometime. I
am currently building a steam locomotive. I have had good luck with drop box files. I just came upon an AA lathe (109.20630) and didn't have any thing to go on. The drop box files have been a godsend. My lathe is in very good shape with the exception of the lock out and back gear plunger. I wonder if there are any drawings for the plunger and high speed locking nut arrangement? I think someone locked the gear into the high speed position and also dropped the pin into the back gear housing. The plunger has been sheared off and the locking mechanism has been beat up. Thanks for your help.. Fred Clepper ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com |

Intoduction
Hi Folks,
My name is Steve Blancard. I have a great old 12 x 24 Atlas bench lathe, it is the old style with change gears. I've had it for about 14 years and have made many things with it over the years. It has a milling attachment that I used quite a few times before I bought a bench top milling machine. Ron Thibault told me about this e-group. If you haven't been to his Atlas Lathe web site, take a look. He has a lot of good info. For everyones info - I was just looking atwww.ebay.com and saw there is some Atlas stuff available. 2 different manuals and a set of change gears. Take a look, search under "lathe" or "atlas lathe" you'll be amazed at what is up for auction. Someone was asking about lathe tables/mountings. Mine is mounted on a 2" thick oak base that is supported by heavy cast iron legs. I think it is the original base since it looks as old as the lathe (60+ years) and appears factory made for it. I look forward to hearing what everyone else is doing with their lathes.

AA Files in the RCM Drop Box
Marty Escarcega
Per Jack's EXCELLENT suggestion, I placed the aadocs.zip file in
the RCM (Rec Crafts Metalworking) dropbox. That way anyone that wants them that I haven't sent them to can grab them at their leisure, and save some on-line time on my end. If you've never been to this site there are other useful files there as well. Thanks again Jack.

Excellent idea! I hope I did not inadvertently send them to everyone in
the group! *blush* if I did. This will also free up online time on my end. I'll try and put them there this evening.
