Terrific Turning Del!
You guys with the big lathes make me jealous. My little 6 x 24 Atlas limits me
but it IS amazing how MUCH of turning is on smaller diameters. It's the wood
work, which I do on my metal lathe that calls for a bigger throw. After being a
machinist for 20-odd years I'm not interested in freehand work.
Enjoy your lathe. If you want to experiment with turning wood on your metal
lathe, you may wish to use specialized chucks like the NOVA or the like.

Greetings from Lancaster, PA

I have an Atlas/Craftsman 12x36 Lathe of about 1946 vintage
(according to Sears and Clausing when I check the serial numbers
several years ago). This is clearly an avocation for me, as I am
self-taught. Another time, I'll share some of the background of
purchasing this lathe. For now, I'll just say that I am very interested
in reading and learning from others about how they are using and maintaining
their lathes.

I have used mine primarily in the repair of my woodworking equipment,and in
constructing woodturning lathe parts (which is a major interest).

More later!

Hi Del, welcome to the list! Does your machine have babbit bearings
or the Timken roller bearings? What kind of accessories did you get
with it? (I think we're up to the "how you got it " story)

I have been trying to tell people this for years, especially beginners
just coming into the hobby. My area activity is live steam engine building
which includes not only locomotives in large and small scales but tabletop
sized mill and marine engines and fittings. At least 80% of the turning
work I do could be handled on a 6" or smaller lathe (and much is). Sure
the other 20% has to be done on larger machines but if a guy doing the work
that I do got hold of a real good smaller lathe, just for starters, it
would continue to be useful for the rest of his machining life.

Well, whether you have your client set to "see" the headers or not, it

I believe about half of that is added, as well as the message line at
the end of each message, by the egroup software. The other half of
the header information is standard to internet messaging.

I think the header stuff actually comes with all messages. A broser
preference option determines whether you see it or not. (I think!)

No, I don't think your dumb, hallucinogenic perhaps? :-)
Seriously, I'm not getting these odd headers or numbers...not to say
that you aren't. My guess is that some e-mail software either strips
or hides this non-useful information, while others "show" it. Might be
wrong though....

Just looked at this site. Nicely done!

My Atlas sits on a large plywood cabinet my dad made way long ago with a
galvanized sheetmetal top. I found a cookie pan that fits just right underneath
the bed.

Does anyone know how to tell the date of manufacture of an old Atlas? Jo Olds at
Clausing says their is no telling by serial number. Mine is a model TH 42 Serial
no. 069087. It has been in the family since at least 1953 or so.

Maybe this information can be backed into by comparing serial numbers
with approximate year of original acquisition, where known. The problem
will of course be there are so few machines are left in the hands of the
original owners or family members. I'm a typical case in that even though
I am only the second owner my 10, I do not know its year of original
purchase and it was rebedded before I acquired it and has no serial number.

Kevin,

Thank you! Will do, and probably buy you a cuppa coffee (or beverage
of your choice) soon.

BTW -- 'Morgan's Atlas' is a bit misleading -- it really should be
Morgan and Ed's Atlas, or Ed and Morgan's Atlas. I bought the base
machine and 'gave' it to a good friend who has shop space, which I don't,
my shop space is more -- umm -- primitive -- consists of a lean-to with
coal and propane forges, a couple of anvils and a couple of trip hammers.

I do blacksmithing, Ed does woodworking, and the two of us have been
bemoaning the need for a lathe for about 4 years. We find that with two
of us working on things, things get done a lot better and finished a whole
lot more often. The Atlas is the foundation of a series of rather
"creative" ideas we want to explore -- <chuckle>

Ed's present shop is the result of last winter's consumption of coffee in
near-psychedelic qantities. We've got a few other crazy projects to our
"credit" including a couple of trebuchets and skein-powered catapults...
(the trebuchets have been battle-tested <grin> Imagine a couple of
grey-haired old geezers in light armor facing an army of
testosterone-pumped young jocks carrying swords and spears...)
