Hi Craig. It's a 3/4 hp 110 motor and yes thats a reversing switch, I'm having a face plate made because the supplied one had REV to the front and thats just wrong : ) They came with an on off but offered a reversing switch as an option. I think it should have been standard. It was disconnected...

Settle down you two, it's nada still! It's a pressure washer fume hood...... I think hic : )

Hi Folks! This one has kept me busy for a while. built the bench in November and started on the lathe in December but only got a few days in there. I added some upgrades like the brass half nuts and the oil channels on the compound and cross slide that are lubed by ball oilers I have a couple of...

Hi Folks! Here's the Kitagawa 4 jaw I mentioned in another post It's bigger than I need for the work I do and it makes chuck # 5 with the purchase of the Atlas 4 jaw that is much more suited to the size of work I do. I'm in need of a small rotary table (4 inch) and other tooling if you have...

If anyone is interested, I'm going to liquidate the 8" 4 jaw Kitagawa (made in Japan) from my Atlas, I have a 1 1/2 - 8 backing plate for it but I think it's too big for that spindle the chuck weighs in at just over 30 lbs I don't think it ever got used,(certainly not much) I disassembled it to...

I bought two 4 jaws after reading your post, The closest atlas 6" 4 jaw I could find was in the mid three's US and then needed a backing plate so for the 9 x 20 guys it'a find for sure! Thanks for posting it!

I finally remembered my camera when I was out working on the Lathe Here's a photo of my chucks just for fun. The small one is a 5" Bison the large is an 8" Kitagawa I disassembled them for service and inspection and the backing plate on the 8" Is over 3/4 of an inch thick so at lease a third of...

Hi Rudy! Yes I bought this Lathe to save it from the previous owner who had disassembled some of it to "restore" it so far I haven't found anything really wrong except for improper reassembly. They're no Standard Modern but it will make a nice serviceable little lathe for a hobbyist. (not to...

Hi Peter! My experience is similar to yours, In my opinion this chuck would be more at home on the 13-34 Standard Modern I sold to down size, on this machine the chuck dwarfs the spindle which, even though this lathe has the timken spindle I think it's too much rotating mass for the machine...

Hi Folks, I'm redoing an Atlas 3986 12 x 36 lathe and it came to me with a 5" 3 jaw and an very heavy 8" 4 jaw Kitagawa that I feel is too much weight to hang off the 1 1/2 - 8 spindle, in research it looks like the 8" (or 4 jaw) chucks that were common on these lathes were hollowed or webbed...
