Atlas lathe capstan (rack & pinion) tailstock


 

Not my lathe, but photos of another fellows (he may be a member of this Group) capstan tailstock mod and other ball handles that he installed on his lathe.

Very nice!!


 

Sure would like to see some detailed information on these mods, especially the capstan feed tailstock ram. ?I have some articles on how this was done to other lathes, but need to do some head scratching to apply this info to my Atlas.
