Will a 12 inch commercial quick change gear box fit a non commercial 12 craftsman lathe. I think the commercial ways are 1/8 inch thicker than my regular lathe ways. My did not come with any change gears and I am thinking of a quick change for the convenience factor.

I have a 10in. Steady that i have had for 30years and when i decided to sell it i discovered it didn’t have casting numbers on it. Has anyone seen these before. The casting is clean and looks factory and nothing like a chinese casting and fits the bed like a glove. Anybody else have info on this steady?

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

Hi all I hope this works... I bought an atlas tv 42 lathe and im in the process of cleaning it up and replacing bits that are either missing or wrong. my list of requirements so far is the gib screws and nuts for pretty much all the relevant places all the springs and ball bearings for the detent mechanisms for some reason the rack that the saddle moves up and down on has been moved 3/8" towards the headstock lastly someone has snuck a 35" leadscrew in broadly mr bodge and bugger it have been at it if anyone can let me know the relevant sizes of threads etc i would appreciate it many thanks

Quick question, do you shop using Amazon? Thanks!

Not mine. Just posting in case someone is looking and doesn't wade through the 400+ lots in the auction. This is in the Tietsworth online auction this week. I had a 6" so I am not familiar with the larger ones. This is a 10" or 12". https://bid.teitsworth.com/auction/427/item/567?offset=569 Dave My 6" Craftsman was loaded on a truck and hauled away today. Same deal as when I got it 30 or so years ago. My father picked it up because it was local to him. I was the 2nd owner. The new (3rd) owner's father picked it up for him and it will go to NJ when it gets picked up from the father's shop. Turns out I knew the new owner when he was a little kid and his brother was in scouts with my son.

I have no clue what this cat spent on his shop & equipment , but now I know where all the watchmaker lathes went . Long vid , I still haven't gotten all the way through it . It's like bitchin to the 10 th power . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcPDZB11A9w Here's the auction site for those of ya that have deep pockets https://www.premiermachineryauctions.com/auctions/detail/bw124252 I'll take one of the watchmakers lathes & one of the mini horizontal mills as a finders fee . I bet there's at least 1000 collets in his shop , maybe double that . animal

I'm just wondering here, how level do you think this lathe is?

I own one of the subject lathes, made about 1948. In my efforts to get it back to working condition I notice two 5/16-18 threaded holes in the headstock casting, below the spindle (see attached image). Can anyone help me understand what these threaded holes were for?

Does anyone have a CAD-esque drawing for this part? Or the relevant specs handy? I caught my finger (again) today and figure I should finally go ahead and make one. Thanks in advance! Bryan

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:

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.

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:
