Re: Atlass MFC knee quesitons.
Aren't those three bolts meant to lock the knee?

Given my latest post in response to animal's question, I probably
will not try to fix it.?
What I would have tried was figuring out a way to drill holes in
each of the broken parts to insert a pin.? Getting them lined up
would be just one of the challenges.

I think you make a good observation and point, at least as far as
something as small as the Atlas 618 sized handles.? The one on my MK2
has one broken handle and it is easy to turn without that other handle
in the way.? That isn't an issue on my Monarch 10EE, where both handles
are present but my hand clears the other one.? Sort of curious, as there
isn't that much difference in their spread, MK2 - 1-1/4", 10EE - 2".
Considering this, I may just leave the compound single handled.

Fair enough.? Parts diagram for Craftsman 101.21400 lathe showing
the compound ball crank handle and part number (M6-308).? And a
factory drawing for what I believe is the same part, however, the
part number is cropped so I cannot be sure.? Dimensionally, it
looks to be right.?
Fair enough.?

I can't swear it will get you what you need, but I think it improves the chances a bunch! ;)?
You had way more info than I expected, too! Good on you!

Might want to tell him the length & hole sizes, ball diameters and such other info, maybe part numbers if you have that info,? so he can figure out what could work of what he has.

I have a bunch of atlas handles some are new. They are from Atlas press in Kalamazoo. I am two miles north of I 94 at exit 66. Also machines and tools. Come and take a look.

Can't you make one? Even without the balls.

Found and bought (eBay) a replacement, original cross slide handle for my Craftsman MK2 6" lathe.? So glad as the so-called replacement handles I'd found thus far are just too large and?interfere with the carriage handle.? Both cross slide and compound
were broken, which we all know is common and they are difficult if not impossible to find, at least in metal.?
Still looking for a compound handle.?

Any chance of plans/parts/diagram?? I would like to try to duplicate something like this (eventually!).
