Lifting in the shop ( used to be Lathe in Jeep )
2
Having said for years to people , " Don 't have back surgery " . I got forced into my 5th in June . SO far this one is working . They pulled nerves out that were getting pinched between vertebrates & replaced a disc . I was finally to the point that it was all pain all the time . There was a added bonus to this surgery , I had a heart attack that nite & after months of telling my Dr's what was going on with me they finally said oh yea , so there was something wrong . Now we know whats been going on with my heart so added bonus . I still can't walk more than 20-30 ' at a time so that's next to dissect .So a bit of preaching here if yer Doc don't listen get another . Stress test don't tell or find everything . I had a heart attach a month after my last heart attack . Be your own advocate !!! now back to our previous channel . I'll have to look into the specs for my concrete . The most I would be lifting with the HF crane is a chuck for either lathe or my 10" rotary table , so I'm a good hunk under 100 lbs . I've had a engine hoist for many years & it's has been used more for other things more than lifting engines . I like the fact that it will collapse , I also have one of those HF hydraulic carts , best 100 bucks I ever spent , although it came into my life much later that it should have . It goes high enough & then some that I can slide stuff from the tailgate of the truck right onto the cart . Unfortunately It has had my Enco /Rong FU mill sitting on it for the last 3 years . I do have to say that if yer ever planing on buying one of these carts the 1000 lb unit has much heavier casters than the 500 lb one has, as told to me by a guy that has the 500 lb cart . Looks like their $ 120.00 difference between the two . I do not know if the cart goes high enough to where I could slide a chuck on to the bed of either lathe , I don't think it does . I know it would work for the rotary table to the mill but then it's something on the floor in my machine room & I really don't want that . I may just end up making a track from Unistrut , but if I want to use the electric hoist I won't be able to reach all 3 machines with it . Decisions, decisions . Another thing for a back saver is if ya have the room a motorcycle lift , it can't be beat . I use mine for a portable work bench , Generator repair , snow blower repair & anything else that I can get onto the table . I still haven't had either motorcycle on it but there's always something on it being worked on . I have a pallet rack on one side of my shop & I can slide the lift under the rack when not in use , though that hasn't happened but once in 5 years . I tore apart a hospital bed up at out local hospital & I think one of the shorter lift assemblies may find it's way to the motorcycle lift . Anyone know where I can get a small like 1 1/2 " load cell Cheap so I can figure out the lifting force of the lift jack ? I'f I had paid attention more in school I could probably figure it out but that boat sailed a log time ago . end of ramble thanks animal On 8/21/24 12:30 PM, William Warne wrote:

My new-to-me Craftsman 101.28910... twisted bed
In theory, Raymond is right to be concerned about a twisted bed. A miniscule percentage of lathes might have a defective or damaged set of bed ways that will affect long cuts with a taper or diametral error. However, if the effect of the twist is to move the tailstock end of the workpiece toward or away from the cutting tool, it can best be eliminated by adjusting the offset on the tailstock. If the effect is to raise or lower the tailstock end of the workpiece relative to the cutting tool, that will only have a very small effect on the diameter of the cut because it is only tangentially affecting the depth of cut. What is being risked with a super stiff mounting (like a heavy duty diagonally braced and welded table or mounting rigidly to a granite surface plate) is that the process of tightening the four bolts of a light duty lathe bed to a super heavy rigid support will, itself, twist the bed. My solution is to mount my 10F to a reasonably sturdy frame of a 4" X 4" lumber workbench with let-in framing bolted together on all joints. I put two horizontal cross members at the location of the two bed mounting legs and add a light duty OSB 25/32" top to hold a chip pan, gooseneck light, and other accessories. Then, I only fasten three of the bed mounting bolts supported on washers. This makes a three-point mount that lets the bed flex under any heavy loads... Just like the three-point mounting on a 10EE. It has worked flawlessly for years. Of course, my bed is not twisted to start with.

FS: Atlas 10" Steady Rest 10-326
3
I recently purchased a South Bend Heavy 10 Lathe, and this Atlas 10" Steady Rest was included with it. (Unfortunately, the steady rest that I need was NOT included - DARN!) This one has two flaws that are pretty easily correctable...one brass arm is missing. And the bottom clamp is missing. $150 includes priority mail shipping to the lower 48 states. Message me for higher resolution pictures. Or if my pricing seems out of range, then please message me offers. As a side note, I owned an Atlas 12" lathe several years ago:

value of a Atlas Clausing 12 inch lathe
My brother has an Atlas Clausing model 6315 12-inch lathe he needs to sell, and he asked if I could help him determine a price for it. It's intact but a restoration project and not usable as is. Is it ok if I start a discussion on this list for that? He is in middle TN. He also has a Rockwell 3-axis mill with tooling that he needs to price as well. I assume I need to go elsewhere to research price on that...unless someone is willing to ping me off list to discuss the mill. He has local people interested but has no idea what price to put on these. Some pics of the lathe attached but I've left off pics of the mill for now. Both he and I have realized that we each have more projects than available remaining lifespan, and stuff has to go. Thanks, Mark N

Motor wiring question
12
I have an Atlas QC42 that is ready for a motor. I have this switch: /g/atlas-craftsman/files/18%20Electrical%20-%20All%20Stock%20Hookups/Reversing%20Switch%20Wiring%20Furnas%20A14%20Atlas%20Motors.pdf I want to use a 3/4HP motor. I need to obtain one. I am unsure if I am to use the switch (noted above) do I still use the on/off toggle switch in the headstock? Since I need to obtain a motor anyway, what Motor would be best to use with that switch? Steve B, in Oregon

Early Atlas 10 Compound / Cross Slide Studs
10
I have an older Atlas 10C/D lathe with the earlier compound and cross slide with the two studs instead of the beveled pilot (or pintle). I have been doing some basic turning and decided to put the milling attachment on and try that out. Since the earlier compound does not have the pintle, a pintle is bolted on first before the mill is added. In my case the studs were too long for the mill to seat properly so I removed a bit of the excess length. The mill mounts fine, but now there's not enough thread engagement to re-mount the cross slide. Measure twice, shorten once . . . I know. Getting new studs is probably the easiest. I've seen them on eBay but they seem very pricey for two studs. Another thought was to possibly "upgrade" the compound and cross slide to one with the pintle. Would this work with an older saddle? I do have a photo album uploaded if anyone needs reference pictures ("Atlas 10C/D Lathe") - /g/atlas-craftsman/album?id=243476. Jeff

Surplus tooling sources

I'm going to be on the road from Fort Worth to Dayton via Memphis and Nashville, though I could go through Indiana. Any good places to buy surplus tooling along either of those routes? -- Oz (in DFW) N1OZ
