Atlas made good quality equipment. I have been fixing things here and there on mine for years. I like old machines :) I have a play list with other how-to’s if you are interested. Depends how much experience you already have. Let me know if you can’t find it. Good luck and have fun.
Now you know! They are interesting in their simplicity. I’m thinking about making a wooden clock that uses the same principle. (Usually at 3am, puts me straight back to sleep) 🤠
Great to hear you enjoy your lathe. Mine was frozen up in a few places when I got it. Mostly works great now. I do have a play list with all my videos that feature the lathe. My cross slide is a bit loose in the middle of the travel. If I adjust the gib I can’t get to the extremities any more. I’m putting off re-machining the dove tails due to fear of mucking it up. I’m sure it will make a great video when I bite the bullet and do it. Thanks for commenting! (Most stuff out of China has zero quality control)
Yeah I prefer the old stuff. It can still make accurate parts. In my next video released tomorrow I demonstrate making a metric thread where this lathe has an imperial lead screw. A few challenges to work around but I like a challenge. A 60 year old guy taught me this when I was 16. Now I’m 60 so I thought I should teach someone else 🤠
That’s a great idea Mike. I’d need a presenter with boobs or my audience might die from boredom. :) I might just do a video explaining surface speed of different materials and cutting tools. Maybe if some people like this comment 🤠
