According to spaco :
I've only done a couple of milling projects in my Atlas 10F lathe, but
it sure can be done. My lathe has the Atlas milling vise, which, I
think, is similar to the palmgren. Don't plan on any heavy cuts.
IMHO you HAVE to have a collet setup for the milling cutters, though.

Hmm ... consider the possibility of using a Morse Taper end mill
holder which matches the spindle nose, and making a drawbar to hold it
firmly in place. (For that matter, A Morse Taper collet could be used
as well.

HSM has had several articles over the years where the author has done
milling in the lathe. I was always jealous of Myford owners with that
t-slot compound, too.

Hmm ... check with MLA for their casting kit for a T-slotted
cross-slide for a South Bend. It may be the right dimensions to be
machined to fit the Atlas as well. I considered that for my 12x24"
Clausing, but the casting was just a bit too small for that one.

Enjoy,
DoN.
