Atlas lathe milling attachment update#
In this video i give an update on where I am with the lathe. I disassemble and clean the reversing gear box and explain how it works.Ītlas 10F Lathe - 09 - Updates, Thank You's and the Dark Side of the Moon In this video I remove the saddle and the leadscrew reversing gear box.

In this video I cover some of the tooling I have got for the lathe, what I have completed so far and where I need to go to get everything up and running.Ītlas 10F Lathe - 08 - Removing the Direction Feed gear box and Saddle Apron assembly I discuss my bearing replacement choice and give recognition to some folks that help me along the way.Ītlas 10F Lathe - 07 - Stuff for the Lathe and Current Progress This video describes the assembly of the counter shaft of the Atlas 10F Lathe. That is if you are only concerned with running the machine and not restoring it to original.Ītlas 10F Lathe - 06 - Counter Shaft Assembly To me, this seems like a good modification. This video describes the modifications that were made to my 10F lathe by a previous owner. I decided to leave it there because I am much less than perfect and am a neophyte hobby machinist.Ītlas 10F Lathe - 05 - Counter Shaft Modifications I will annotate the video where I goofed. Please note that I made an error in how I performed this but later caught my mistake and corrected it. In this video I discuss how the back gears are disassembled and the process I went through to determine what size shims I needed between the Head stock castings and the back gear castings to set the proper clearance for the gears. You get it all, even my goofs!!!Ītlas 10F Lathe - 04 - Backgear Disassembly and Shim Calculation I talk about the installation as well as how the pulley, bull gear and drive gear interact with the back gears. In this video I re-install the headstock spindle on the Atlas Lathe. In this video i remove the headstock spindle from the lathe to figure out why the pin on the bull gear will not engage.Ītlas 10F Lathe - 03 - Headstock Spindle Installation I will post more videos of this machine covering the setup and some of the repairs that need to be made.Ītlas 10F Lathe - 02 - Headstock Spindle Removal This isn't probably the best condition machine, but for the little money that I had, I am glad to have it. Having just recently bought an Atlas TH54 lathe, I thought I would give a quick walk through and talk a little bit about the machine. The Lathe Reconditioning / Cleaning / or Whatever it was that I done Atlas 10F Lathe - 01 - Introduction If you have some documentation relating to the Atlas Lathe that I am missing, please email me and and let me know as I would like to gather as much as possible and place them here. These documents are available on a number of sites on the Internet, but I thought it would be a nice repository for them nonetheless. At the bottom of the page I will make available the related documents I have found for the machine in the event that a new user does not want to round them all up.

So hang out and follow along as I get Bertha back in running order and hopefully start making things with the machine.īelow are the videos I made while doing the work on the lathe. Notice I did not say restore the machine, although along the way she did get some new parts. This section of the website will detail what i done to recondition or fix the lathe. that sounds a lot like being married doesn't it?) Well the price was right and I could not pass it up for better or worse. The machine as I found it had no tooling and instead of a compound slide and cross slide had some sort of T slotted table.
