?Hi, My name is Cliff and I was gifted an Atlas MF Mill. I’m still trying to learn more about the mill and because it’s missing a LOT of parts and others are broken, I’m trying to figure out if it can be made useable without spending a fortune. I’d like to end up with a “nice” mill, but i’m more interested in function than form. I have no interest in selling it. i want to use it. This is it, as received. I’m kind of happy a few parts were missing after lifting it into my truck bed…lol

Hello! I am very new to the Atlas/Craftsman lathe in fact I picked up a lathe last weekend. I have not touched a lathe in 50 years so am a bit rusty with everything! I have ordered a couple of books to learn from to help bring me up to speed. It had no tooling with it and I am trying to find some I can purchase. The lathe I bought did come with a toolholder but nothing else. {see photo} Can someone direct me to where and what I should purchase to get started. Both Grizzly and Little Machine Shop have tool packages however I am not sure what would work for me. Can someone provide me with some direction? Thanks in advance. Joe

hi all, I am at the stage where i think i can put the headstock back together. As allways with these things i have done some research into what grease to use for the timkin bearings and ending up learning far too much and still none the wiser. what grease should i use please? many thanks

hi all, The lathe i have came with a home made tool post that holds 4 toolbits at once. however to change between the 4 bits you have to turn the tool post round and some how get it back square i presume (im a complete newbie). there are 4 allen head bolts holding the tool bit in so i assume i would have to undo those and reset everything up if i wanted a different bit. All this to say what quick change toolpost with the dovetail holders would work and is it worth spending a couple of hundred pounds? many thanks Ben

Just checking, i have accessories left over from selling my lathe. My question is can i list them here for sale instead of Ebay? I saw the for sale forum and the last thing listed was in 2018. I just don’t want to cause problems.

Anybody seen one like this? No part numbers

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 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
