1933 Altas lathe??
My dad picked up an old lathe for $15. It is missing several parts
including the compound, leadscrew, probably threading gears, handwheels, etc. I think it's an Atlas from pictures on the net but it's not exactly the same model. There is a gear change plate that mentions the year 1933. Does anyone have a picture and/or model info? I think it's probably 10" swing. Thanks, Randy |

Send me a photo and I can probably tell you what you have.
Might even have the pieces you are missing, as I'm about to part out a 10" Atlas.

I bought one almost identical to that recently, except that all the drive stuff was replaced by a 2 HP DC motor with a variable-speed controller box. Unfortunately they also got rid of the leadscrew and the gear train to turn it. I'm currently trying to decide whether to rebuild it or part it out. Rex |

I have an original manual (dated 1933) for a Sears Metalcraft lathe that was
claimed to have a 9" swing. You can find a PDF file of the scanned manual he http://www.metalwebnews.com/manuals/searslathe.pdf Most (all?) of the later Sears/Craftsman lathes in this size category were made by Atlas so the above manual might be useful to you. The vintage certainly sounds to be in the right ballpark. Mike "Randy Replogle" wrote in message ... My dad picked up an old lathe for $15.

It looks like a perfect match except for the legs. Randy |
