Re: Atlas/Craftsman Dates

 

I think the header stuff actually comes with all messages. A broser
preference option determines whether you see it or not. (I think!)
Skip
Craftsman 12x36
Atlas 10x24
a few spare parts

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....

Marty

I may be dumb, and probably am, but what in the thunder is this "code"
number used repletely by you and others, Marty, "#34"? John

Re: Atlas/Craftsman Dates

Harry, I haven't seen any such "header" material...
Including this one from you. Did "your copy" of this message that
came back to you from the list server have it as well? Perhaps you
have your mailer set to "see" this information?

Marty

I've noticed that messages from the List are accompanied by large amounts
of header material. Is this something I'm doing or is it just the list
program?

Re: Chip Pan Article

Jim Irwin
 

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...)

Friends;
For those of you who asked, I have put the Modletec article I wrote
on making my chip pan on my page. As I did sell it to Modletec, I have not
referenced it in my page. It is at the following address for those interested.

Atlas 1036 parts

Morgan Hall
 

I'm hoping to obtain drawings or a source for parts for a fairly old
Atlas 1036 (has the open headstock with motor on an 'over-center' belt
tightner and 5-step pully on countershaft).

Ways, tailstock, and headstock seem to be in fairly good shape. The
housing for the reversing mechanism (where nameplate is) is broken,
the little 'spider' that engages the lead screw to reversing gears is
missing, the mount for the tailstock end of the lead screw is missing,
and the gear pack that carries the pinion (crank cross slide along ways)
is missing.

Does anyone have leads for these parts?

Does anyone have drawings for them? I'd be very happy with photocopies!

Re: Provenance

Marty Escarcega
 

You're in the right place, welcome aboard. We're almost 60
members strong....

Marty
Keeper of the List

Atlas/Craftsman Group; Question & Info:

Am I in the right group? I hear Atlas/Craftsman/AA mentioned as Origins
for the
Atlas. I have info which may or may not be of use to members, because my
provenance (origin)is from Atlas Press Co. of Kalamazoo MI.

My Lathe Nametag reads:

Atlas
Clausing Corp.
Kalamazoo, Mich. 95001

and my Serial tag reads mod. # 3950; Ser. # 00074

The Atlas I have was made around 1970 (I think). It's 6" throw and has a
#2 Morse Taper. The spindle is threaded 1"-10thd. The company is kaput.


Tip #1
A source of parts and manuals for MY atlas was;

Clausing Industrial Inc.
Service Center
P.O. Box 877
Goshen, IN 46527-0877
(219)533-0403

I got an owner's manual from them, and they have many parts for my unit.
They also have a website.

Tip #2
Since I also cut wood on my lathe I have another source for chucks for
that purpose. I use the Nova Scroll Chuck, which is excellent, but the
thread inserts were not available locally. So I went direct to:

Latalex Ltd.
65 The Concourse
Henderson, Auckland
New Zealand

They provided one at local prices and at no cost in shipping. They too
have a website.

SO; if anyone wants to tell me I'm in the wrong club, or wishes more info
e me.
