ATLAS MF HORIZONTAL MILLING MACHINE


 

Hello fellow Atlas fans, I just received an Atlas Model MF mill. It came disassembled in milk crates. can anyone explain the differences in the Model codes, MF vs MFB vs MFC etc..
and secondly, does any one have a Parts Manual specifically for the model "MF"?
Thank You, Steve L., New Jersey USA

I never found a meaningful difference between the MF and MFB.

The MF and MFB had a cutter guard where the MFC removed the cutter guard and came with a different overarm support casting and bar — making it sturdier with cuts.

This is the document you want which is in the files section:
Atlas Mill Bulletin MMB-5 M1--MHC REV9.pdf

It will show you the differences, and all parts should interchange between them.

If you want to upgrade to an MFC support setup, I’m happy to walk you through it, as I converted one many years ago.

Thank You Brandon Corey That is the exact document I've been looking for. Much appreciated! I spent a few hours in my shop yesterday pouring over this parts manual.? My Mill is only called out as model "MF" and serial number "005891" these don't seem to align with the parts manual notations. well regardless I'm doing a complete cleaning , painting and reassembly. ill see what's missing as i move forward. again thank you for the link!
