Leadscrew Atlas 10D 54 dimensions
Let me first introduce myself, my name is Vincent Peters and since a couple of months I'm in the process of restoring an Atlas 10D-54. I do own a Bridgeport mill, and I'm a R&D engineer at a packaging company by profession.
The lathe was previously used at a large power plant in a service workshop for small jobs. After the power plant was modernized in the 70's, the lathe was stored and then sold to a retired employee. He did some hobby stuff on the machine and partially repainted the machine. When he died, a family member disassembled the machine and sold the lathe to me. Together with my Bridgeport mill, I hope to use the machine for restoring my oldtimers. The advantage of the previous life of the machine is that there is little to no wear on the critical parts. But the lathe was also hacked during it's professional life:? the reverse switching gearbox (which is a notoriously weak part) was broken as well as the leadscrew bracket. To fix this, the reverse switching gearbox was replaced by a fixed gearing and some iron part was made to keep the leadscrew in place. This gearbox "repair"? also included sawing off a part of the leadscrew. When disassembling the machine, I also discovered the countershaft pulleys to be damaged (cracked). On top of that, the countershaft shaft was worn. Currently I'm disassembling the machine, cleaning, repainting and replacing any worn/broken parts. And the countershaft shaft is already replaced by a new piece of steel. For replacing/reparing the leadscrew I'm a bit puzzled. Is there somebody who has a drawing/plan of the leadscrew? A drawing of a shorter version would also help, as long as it is possible to rebuild the leadscrew ends. |

Yahoo makes a mess out of emails and has for some time now, gone are the days of html organized in an intuitive fashion so you could make sense of it, cut-and-paste logically, etc.? Oh, html was easily hackable by "hackers," "foreign governments," and the "Russian Mafia." The internet is a kind of interactive propaganda. Basically it makes you stupid and wastes your time. People have gone and yakked everything they know into it, and the powers that be will eventually suppress everything that doesn't fit their agenda.

Re: Finally workbench for my lathe

I don't think it matters much what size chuck you run, as long as it does not hit the rest of the lathe when spinning. There may be some value in running a smaller chuck on a production lathe, where the extra mass of a larger chuck may speed up the wear of
the bearing surfaces, but on a hobby lathe, it is reasonable to expect your death to arrive before that of the lathe, so chuck-on!
