Shipping to UK mainland (excluding Highland addresses) will by via pallet delivery.įurther photos of this item are below, and a showcase of this lathe can be seen in the video. It’s very easy to remove this control if not required – unlike a Myford, it is easy to access the inside of the carriage just by removing a couple of screws. Again, there is a bit of a “knack” to using this control as the clearance between it and the cross slide handle is a bit limited. The power cross feed spindle and gear was not used by the previous owner, I refitted this item as it was in the “box of bits” that were with this lathe.There is a certain “knack” needed to operating the feed reversing gearbox at the headstock end of the leadscrew to find the neutral position.A new mounting hinge needs to be made, and a suitable bracket for fixing the front of the cover needs to be fabricated. Change gear cover as seen in the photos only has a temporary fixing to it as the previous owner had used the lathe without the cover fitted.Please note the following points about this lathe

It could be wired for forward / reverse operation if the wiring is replace with 5 core cable, and a suitable switch is used. Re: Atlas 10' Serial Numbers and Bearing Dates Lou, (1) According to photos in available catalogs (specifically 19), the headstock casting was changed to use the rectangular switch plate in time for making the photographs for the 1943 catalog. It is wired for forward operation, and has a standard 3 pin plug fitted. The motor is a single phase 240V 1420 RPM Cub Motor rated at 1/3HP. Sundry items – spanners, nuts, washers, bolts, gear spindles etc.Travelling steady frame – no fingers, I think the ones from the fixed steady can be reused.Fixed steady with 3 fingers – note that the plate needed to go under the bed to secure this steady is not present.
1943 atlas lathe serial number#
The makers plate on the right hand end of the lathe shows that it has the serial number 029920.įurther information about this type of lathe can be found on the .uk website, so please do take a read of that for further information.Īlso included are the following accessories There is a gap in the database between a 10D at 8635 and a 10F at 15883 (yours).This is an Atlas 10″ lathe with the model number TV36 indicating it has taper bearings in the headstock with a vertical countershaft and a 36″ bed length. However, we don't have data to pin down the first 10F serial number very closely. So the highest serial number must have gotten quite close to 100000. And we have one example indicating that Atlas may have shifted the QC serial numbers over to run with the other 10". The highest change gear 10" serial number we have is 088786 and the highest 4-digit QC serial number that we have is 4882, the sum of which is 93668. The new 12" serial numbers (Atlas) started at 100000. What I said was that the sum of all Atlas 9" and all 10" was something under 100,000 but over 93668. (3) That appears to have changed from peened to screw at the same time as the headstock and switch plate change (between 19). So the hex head ones are probably not original to your machine. The same wrench (supplied with the lathe) that fits the carriage lock and the screw in the tool post would also fit the square head screws in the countershaft. I don't think that Hex head screws would have ever been used. All Atlas catalogs from 1932 through 1952 (all 9" and all 10") show the square head screw. However, all four catalogs used the same photograph which does not zoom in well. (2) Judging by photographs in some Sears catalogs, headless slotted set screws may have been used on the Craftsman 9" countershaft bearing adjusters in 1932 through 1935. So that doesn't help pin down when yours was made as we already knew from some bearing dates that it was earlier than May 1942. (1) According to photos in available catalogs (specifically 19), the headstock casting was changed to use the rectangular switch plate in time for making the photographs for the 1943 catalog.
