I have a 10 inch atlas, wanted a light mill. 030 cut on steel w/ mine when set up RIGHT. Shipping to UK mainland (excluding Highland addresses) will by via pallet delivery.įurther photos of this item are below, and a showcase of this lathe can be seen in the video.Docn8as was so right when he said "u do not want a milling attach that mounts on compound !!!get one that takes the place of compound & mounts on x/lide ust me. It’s very easy to remove this control if not required – unlike a Myford, it is easy to access the inside of the carriage just by removing a couple of screws. Again, there is a bit of a “knack” to using this control as the clearance between it and the cross slide handle is a bit limited.
The power cross feed spindle and gear was not used by the previous owner, I refitted this item as it was in the “box of bits” that were with this lathe. There is a certain “knack” needed to operating the feed reversing gearbox at the headstock end of the leadscrew to find the neutral position. A new mounting hinge needs to be made, and a suitable bracket for fixing the front of the cover needs to be fabricated. Change gear cover as seen in the photos only has a temporary fixing to it as the previous owner had used the lathe without the cover fitted. Please note the following points about this lathe It could be wired for forward / reverse operation if the wiring is replace with 5 core cable, and a suitable switch is used. It is wired for forward operation, and has a standard 3 pin plug fitted. The motor is a single phase 240V 1420 RPM Cub Motor rated at 1/3HP. Sundry items – spanners, nuts, washers, bolts, gear spindles etc. Travelling steady frame – no fingers, I think the ones from the fixed steady can be reused. Fixed steady with 3 fingers – note that the plate needed to go under the bed to secure this steady is not present. The makers plate on the right hand end of the lathe shows that it has the serial number 029920.įurther information about this type of lathe can be found on the .uk website, so please do take a read of that for further information.Īlso included are the following accessories
This is an Atlas 10″ lathe with the model number TV36 indicating it has taper bearings in the headstock with a vertical countershaft and a 36″ bed length.
