... Hi Ray, I would love to see the pics too if you don't mind. Sounds like a much more reasonable solution than coughing up what they want for a new one,...
">My guess is that the cutter movement ... That's the sort of contact variation that I don't think is particularly "calibrated"..... You either "have contact"...
JT, I agree. That is why I have a single threshold at 2 ohms. It would not have been difficult to add an analog meter to show the exact resistance but, as you...
Ray, If you don't mind, can you also email me photos of that fix. Would be an interesting solution to a common problem with these old lathes. Thanks-David...
Not at all.......... In fact I believe we are in agreement on this...... ;) JT ... From: Rick Sparber <rgsparber@...> Subject: RE: [atlas_craftsman]...
JT, "violent agreement" was meant as a joke to suggest that we are complete agreement with possibly some initial misunderstanding. :-) Rick ... From:...
Now that I understand what you are doing it makes sense and would probably work on the mill as well. In the original post it sounded like (to me) you were...
Glenn, That original post was confusing. Sorry about that. I am one step ahead of you on the mill. I've already tried it and rediscovered a limitation that has...
David and Bob: I am computer illiterate and don't know how to send pictures except in an actual insertion or attachment to an email. If you guys send me your...
Ray, Don't feel bad. In this window, if you scroll down you will see a link button to the left: Reply to sender. Click on it and it will send an email directly...
... I sure agree with this. My Atlas 10" had this job done by the previous owner (a gun smith) with great results. 41 years later, it is still working fine....
Hi Ray, yeah I have been thinking about that as well. Problem with the lead screw is not just the sides of the threads being worn. They are worn down on the...
Thanks jworman, like I mention to Ray, I have considered swapping the ends but with the treads being worn down like they are. Really need to build them up and...
... It depends. Most of the 7x10 units I have seen came with a metric leadscrew, so all of the gearsets gave an approximation. The error grows the longer...
I am wondering if I can bore out the round opening on my milling attachment to fit my Atlas QC42, it is about 1/4" in diameter too small (the milling...
You mean the base of the attachment needs the hole opened up? 1. Mount to an angle plate that is then mounted onto the carriage and put the cutting tool in the...
Peter, What does the milling attachment fit now? The 10" should have a 25/32" ID spindle, which is a 32nd over 3/4". The most common draw bars are 3/8"...
David, this is the only part of your email address that showed up: "david.deboize@" I think this site allows only yahoo addresses. Mine is an aol address. ...
Peter, you didn't ask but you can make end mill holders from the Morse taper shanks of junk drills. The shanks are soft. You can chop them off, drill them...
I hope it is OK to answer here on top, Thanks for your reply Robert....I'm not sure, it came with this lathe, and then I discovered it didn't fit, but if I...
Ray, Here goes a second time. david"dot";deboize"at"verizon"dot"net Let me know if it works on your end and again thanks. Looking forward to studying those...
how or what the banjo gets bolted to on my 10F? Apparently I was missing the 10-33L bracket for the top belt guard, found one on ebay and now is enroute. Does...
Regarding cutting metric pitches on Atlas-built lathes larger than 6" which include the 16-32 stud gear, the latest edition of LOaMT (my copy is 33rd Edition...
That was my assumption... Next time I'll put TWO "winks" on the message so you'll be more apt to notice at least one...... ;-) ;) JT ... From: "Rick Sparber"...
You-all remided me of something......I guess you probably know that this idea, or a related one is already in production for edge finding on the mill..... You...
JT, Those continuity detectors are designed to detect the difference between an open circuit and about 1000 ohms. The problem I am trying to solve with my ...
Peter, If the drawbar you have is for the Atlas 6", I would sell it to someone with a 6". If you also have the #2MT X 1/2" ID milling cutter holder, you can ...
Make an adapter! I do not have the dimensions to compare but I believe the 6" Milling attachment may be a bit short. Even if not, an added inch in height at...
