In search of ...... Atlas 618 lantern tool post
- Thread starter Perry
- Start date
I always ask with significant aingst, questions like: are you sure you really want a lantern tool post? They were and still are a great turn of the century tool post - especially for HSS tools. But they are not nearly as adaptable as a more modern style tool post - with lots of these to choose from too eg Aloris, Dixon, etc etc.
Well.....I picked something up over the weekend and all it is missing is the original tool post. Might as well complete the set.
If I keep it, I have a QCTP on my mini lathe that will get moved over. (Actually it might be too big.)

Wow, that was fast.
Can you check and let me know? I have the dished washer and the rocker but missing the rest of it.

I'm actually quite sure I do have one but I have it crated up with the lathe in storage. I'll try to get to it later this week if that's OK with you.Wow, that was fast.
WTH? You don't have that shiny new shop completely unpacked & outfitted yet? Need some help?

I actually am getting pretty close to having it look like a shop now. Still figuring out where to put stuff and am always looking for tools but it's at least workable now.
The little Atlas lathe is packed up and stored elsewhere.

I figure you are going to have to head over there and drink half his beer and see if that lights a fire under his azz...

Well right now half my beer wouldn't get ya very far....but if I knew when you were coming I could "prepare".I figure you are going to have to head over there and drink half his beer and see if that lights a fire under his azz...
I really hope you are not robbing your lathe.
The washer and rocker I have seem to be a little large to me. I attached a couple photos. The washer I have, has a diameter of ~40mm.
Would you also have a No 1010-R tool holder? (I think that is a right hand tool holder even though it bends to the left.) The original tool holder is probably with the original tool post.
I sent a PM off to you.
Thankyou.

I'll measure my washer and rocker and if they are smaller you can have them too. I know I did have both left and right tool holder but I also know I've repurposed at least one of them and I think I gave the other away to someone wanting to use it with a shaper. I'll check and let you know.

It looks like my washer and rocker are about the same measurement as yours so I think yours are correct. I haven't located my old tool holders yet, I thought I might have them in my shop but maybe they are with the lathe. I didn't look for them when I retrieved the tool post as I didn't know how then you needed them. Give me a while and I'll see what I can do.
