Saving An Old Atlas
For years I have made do with a worn out 10" Atlas, but my limited skill set limits what I can do with it. It is OLD and has very loose babit bearings and a 5/8" lead screw. I am wondering if I could replace the head with a newer timkin bearing casting and further what it would take to upgrade to the later 3/4" lead screw. Ive looked at replacing the lathe, but this one is otherwise complete and more importantly fits the cramped space I have available. Carl |
