Thank you all. Can anyone who is familiar advise how the leadscrew drive gear is removed? It appears as though it should slide off, yet doesn't. there is a collar between the gear and the bearing,

Yes, I believe on the 10" lathe, at least, it was an extra-cost option. Model numbers like TH42 would indicate Timken bearings, horizontal-tensioning countershaft and 42" bed. Without the T, it would

Hi Don, A liberal application of either 10 or 20 beats the crap out of none! I like Mobil Vactra #2 for the ways. Dave

I don't think any "modern" lathes use plain bearings anymore. Tapered roller or sometimes angular contact ball bearings are it. Various grades of both, ranging from reasonable price to you must be

from what i read? the atlas came out with timkens first and sears wanted to keep the price down and stuck with bushings unless ordered with timkens... the 618 was prmarily a hobby lathe but also was

You might take the table that shows the belt configuration. And associated speed and break that up into 3 groups (slow, med, fast). Use that as your guide.? But I didn't know this was required for

The manual addresses speed with the sleeve bearings. It states that the clamping pressure should be reduced slightly for high speed and tightened back for slow speed. If it states what speed is high

Jody, I think the Timkens were more like: we invented this newfangled thing called a bearing and we're now putting it into our lathes. ? ________________________________ Sent: Friday, January 25,

Were the Timken brgs an option when they first showed up in Atlas Lathes?Sort of like a deluxe version. Mine is a Timken brg 101.07403, circa 1944.? Granted this is a 12"-Jody

Interesting. I knew about the oil recommendation changing, I never knew they were putting timkens in them as early as 1937. I wonder now if the timkens were sold as a high speed option, or if they

I've looked through a bunch of pdf's and a couple of original printed manuals. My original 1937 Atlas manual never mentions 618 or any other model number, as best I could tell, but it discusses both

Welcome to the group. You'll find some great help here in the rebuild or refurb of your 618 and machining techniques.? Lot's f good guys here willing to help. Sorry I can't too much help out on the

Thanks Mike,I'll have to save this site.So when I rebuilt the lathe I'm not sure I was able to get the oil cups out. IIRC I think I pinched the top of one of them where the cover was out of line a

Thanks, Animal. I think Jody isn't the only one who could use that link. I've got an Atlas TH42 & an MF mill, as well as a South Bend 10L lathe. Lots of Gits oilers among them.? Bill in OKC? Sent

Hello everyone! I picked up an old Atlas and have finally got around to messing with it. I got the bed and all the ways on the compound, cross-slide, and suck nice with some kroil and a dish scrubby

To be honest it was over three years ago that I purchased the parts and also ordered several other parts at the time, IIRC the set was @ $45.00. Clausing is fairly easy to deal with but you need to
