If the motor pulley is missing (it's a pressure die-casting and relatively fragile) the larger diameter was 33/16" and the smaller 111/16". On the few examples to make it to Europe these speeds were somewhat reduced by the 50 Hz, 1425 r.p.m. The spindle carried a 4-step pulley, driven by 2-step pulleys on motor and countershaft - a combination that gave a remarkably wide range of 16 speeds between approximately r.p.m. nose could this have a been a sort-run batch for some specific task, possibly production and originally fitted with a capstan unit ?ĭrive on all models was by proper, full-size V-belts, Z-section (about 0.4" or 10 mm across the top) on both motor and headstock drives.

However, one example of the lathe, Serial Number 1006, has been found with a most unusual fitting, a spindle with a 1.25" x 14 t.p.i. thread (later 1" x 10 t.p.i.), was fitted with a 60-hole indexing ring on the face of the backgear bullwheel and ran in Timken taper-roller bearings with part numbers: 07079 left bearing, 07100 right bearing and 07196 for the two bearing cups. 2 Morse taper, 17/32" bore headstock spindle had a 1" x 8 t.p.i. However, despite its modest price, it was offered with a wide range of useful accessories and enjoyed a number of desirable features: the No. Like all Atlas lathes, the 6-inch was mass produced, with costs kept down by the use of parts in Zamak - a pressure die-cast metal.

2 countershaft with the swing-head hanging down backwards and the V belt passing between the uprights.Īs few appear on the used market, the number of early versions produced must have been limited and later machines (commonly seen as Craftsman Series 101.73**) are much more frequently encountered. However, it was made for one year only before being replaced by the much better specified 101.07301-as listed in the post 1938 catalogs shown hereĪtlas 6" x 18" (3" centre height) - 1941 version with the taller, Mk. spindle thread, a headstock that lacked backearing and a countershaft unit and belt-tensioning arrangements of a very elementary, lightweight design, was sold at the very competitive price of $42. This initial Craftsman model, which carried an inadequate 3/4" x 16 t.p.i. Enormously popular in America - it was affordable and with a specification that allowed it to undertake the majority of jobs likely to be encountered in a home workshop - its likely that the lathe made its first appearance not as an Atlas but badged for the mail-order company Sears,Roebuck under their Craftsman identification tab as the 101.07300. Styled to closely resemble its larger brother, the " 10-inch", the Atlas 'Model 618' 6" x 18" (3.5" centre height) backgeared and screwcutting lathe was in production from 1936 until 1974 and then, in Mk. 1 PhotographsĪtlas 9, 10 & 12-inch Lathes Atlas Milling Machine Atlas ShaperĪ complete Data Pack is available for the Atlas 6-inch lathe 1 6-inch Ītlas 6-inch Lathe Accessories Atlas Mk.

it wont bend before it breaks.Email: t Machine Tool Archive Machine-tools Sal e & Wanted I do worry about breaking something cause it is so stiff. The working part can be rotated around the Tee nut. The compound gives me Z axis movement, the cross feed gives Y axis, and the carraige feed gives me X axis movement. I used tee nuts into the compound tool slot to hold mounting plate for my work. Cut the shafting to duplicate the center shaft on the rotating cross feed, bolted the shaft to the angle plate and cut a hole for the compound to fit its old shaft into, drilled and tapped the angle plate to lock the compound in place.

Near heartfailure at the readings.īought cuple of "angle plates" from ENCO and some 2" shafting. mounted a tool holder and dial indicator and pushed it around. I have a 10 inch atlas, wanted a light mill. 030 cut on steel w/ mine when set up RIGHT.
