Atlas_Craftsman Info File
Last updated: 1/3/99
Purpose:
The purpose of this list is to share information with each other, about
Atlas Metal Lathes and Metal Lathes produced for Sears by Altas
and AA Engineering under the Craftsman name.
The list is intended everyone, veteran and novice users alike.
Allowable Discussion Topics:
Anything that has to do with the specific use, setup, construction,
parts, modification, buy/sell/trade of the lathe or any accessories for
the lathe.
Machining technique topics specific to the lathe are ok. It is
encouraged that general machining topics be discuss on
the rec.crafts.metalworking newsgroup.
Since there will be a variety of folks with different skill/knowledge
levels, please respect each other's questions or comments. Lets
keep and enjoyable productive atmosphere for all and good
dialogue. As new users come on line I'm sure some questions will be
asked again. Be patient and help as much as possible.

this section)
Craftsman machines with model numbers (found on the end of the
bed, tailstock side or the middle of the bed backside)
