Atlas/Craftsman $250 Sannich

[YotaBota]

Not sure if the countershaft is there but for the price it's a start.

Metal Lathe

Metal Lathe, just picked it up from shop and would like to make a quick sale so I can just take it straight to buyers place. Please text my cell if possible 778-584-1600.

That’s a strange tool post cross slide.

 

[jcdammeyer]

It has a tailstock.

Has the old rocker style tool post. What is strange about it Tom?

 

[Tom O]

Ha never mind it looked like it had a triangular top but it’s just the tool in the post.
My bad

 

[YotaBota]

If it's still available I'm tempted to get it, not for me but for who ever next week thinks "damn I should have bought that" and to keep it out of the flipperville.

Me too!

I would buy it if it was local. Be a great project to build back.

 

[FatherWes]

I’m headed to the island tomorrow. Contacted him about this. SOLD. Bummer.

 

[BenoitL]

I ended up buying this one. Its a basket case but the parts will come in handy.

 

[djberta]

Nice that a member got it.

 

[FatherWes]

Yes, glad someone here got it. I was looking for parts for my Atlas 618, so same end result: parts put to good use.

 

[YotaBota]

@BenoitL - you just beat me to it.

Did it come with the counter shaft?

Is it a 618?

Yes it had the counter shaft but missing all the change gears.
Its a long bed 10"

 

[YotaBota]

It may be missing gears but at least it's usable and you can find or make the gears as required.

Its not usable now sadly it needs new parts in the carriage and lead screw tumbler.

At least you have the machine and a path forward.

What is a leade screw tumbler? I don't think I'm familiar with that.

 

[whydontu]

Perfect candidate for an ELS

Its the little gearbox that engages, disengages, reverses the lead screw.

I see. Don't have a small gear box like that on either one of my lathes and don't think I ever saw one. Factum #2 learned today. Tomorrow is gunna be boring.
