Larry just left my place with a nice Atlas power hacksaw to match his lathe. Welcome aboard Larry.

That's FANTASTIC!

I had thought very seriously about volunteering you, but thought that would be too much of an imposition. I'm super happy you two guys found a way to make it work!
 
Never an imposition to meet a fellow addict, especially a new addict..

Looks like we already have a collaboration set up. The little Atlas hacksaw seems have had an unscheduled disassembly of some sort upon first use. We will get it sorted though.

So happy to have found this site!

In the last 72 hours I've learned more about my (new to me) Atlas 618 Model 10100 metal lathe than anywhere else. (also thrilled this is a Canadian group to boot!) My last foray into turning metal was in Mr. Skinner's grade 7&8 shop class in the very early 1980s. But for the past 10 years I've done a ton of car restoration / welding / forging and have always wanted a lathe. Finally found a reasonably priced one here in Toronto. (Although... now that I play with it more I might have overspent.) BUT... I'm no stranger to tearing things down, cleaning and re-building having a 1970s MG sitting beside me in the garage at all times!

Can't wait to dive in.
Chris
