I have one of these that is from 1934(?), roughly. It is almost identical. The differences are minor. Mine has never been serviced in any way and is still in original condition. Yes, it has some wear and tear but it still works well. However, with it approaching its 90th birthday I may just give it a total overhaul so that it can serve my sons for another 100 years with no problem. This was a well done video with plenty of good tips. There are a few things I would do differently. First, WD-40 is almost useless as a rust breaker. Instead, we use Corrosion - X. It is impossible to beat. For paint stripping nothing works better than aircraft paint stripper! It gets right down to the metal with almost no scrubbing or scraping required. Thank you for going to the trouble to make this video. Who knows? I may made a video of my own when I do the rebuild. LOL

The lathe's spindle in later models (or higher end), were fitted with Timken tapered roller bearings, NOT ball bearings. These lathes were made by Clausing and sold as the Atlas lathes. Nothing wrong with babbitt plain bearings, their main limitation is how fast the spindle can be allowed to turn when not lubricated with a substantial oil pressure...keep your spindle speed under 1200 rpm. Plain bearings can handle a huge amount of load, just be sure to lube them up every time the lathe is being used. Installing drip oilers is a good idea.

I just found this beautiful rebuild of a lathe I've had since 1996. It was my father-in-laws, and his father and bought prior to WW II. I have almost all the original equipment that came with it including the extra set of gears and the woodworking plate. I need a larger chuck as mine is only 6 inches across the face. I agree with one of the prior comments that this is newer than 1937 as mine was purchased in 1938 and that is the date on the original users manual. The motor mount is of models in the late 40's or early 50's, if not later. Also the original color was a battleship gray. Whoever did the prior rehap, painted it the blue and the Craftsman plate was red with black raised letters. I also agree with a prior comment to use the direction option built on the lathe so the direction won't unscrew the chuck off the main shaft or the jawed chuck off. Mine is still original from the 30's due to the care of my FIL and his dad. Being family owned and used has kept it in great shape and I'm learning more on it every time I use it. I just wish my FIL was still here to guide me along in learning more than what I have now as he was a master machinist. I retired from the Air Force in 1997 and we returned to Pittsburgh, PA in October. We lost my FIL in 2000.and I never had time to set it up correctly until recently for a project. I've watched a lot of KZitem videos to try and fill the gap and enjoyed your rebuild greatly. Thanks! MSgt David R. Smyth, USAF, Ret.

I was an A ganger on a diesel submarine in the early 70's we had virtually the same Sears "craftsman" lathe.

An old guy at the Sears parts counter told me these lathes were made in a super cheap Craftsman version for Sears, but a lot of actual machined brass gears from Atlas will fit. I ordered as many brass gears as I could which included the bevel gears I needed and also the half nuts in brass. Just FYI.

Rust removal: restored an ancient bench plane that had been in rain and snow for at least 10 years using white vinegar. Took it apart with WD-40, then washed in hot water with strong detergent to get off all oil and allow the vinegar to reach all surfaces. Rinsed all the parts and put them into a wooden box lined with a garbage bag. Filled the box with white vinegar from Costco and let it soak for about 3 days. The rust became a gray sludge that was easily brushed off under hot water. You want hot rinse water for quick drying to avoid new rust. When all was dry, the results were amazing-- the parts looked like new (except for the badly pitted blade). This is less work and is more gentle than wire brushing and reaches into difficult corners that are hard to reach with wire brushing.

Fished out a 10x 36 inch longbed Atlas lathe, similar era, in pieces, from a scrap metal dumpster, including the legs, and repair parts from mechanical damage. Took some doing- much tooling is compatible with my superb Logan engine/ turret lathe, though the pot metal is annoying. I think they- the uninitiated- broke it and took it apart, and the Humpty Dumpty dance prevailed- all the king's horses, well intentioned........ The FW put it all back together in no time- seasoned machinist- the steadying hand of routine. One headstock bearing trends tight, and the lead screw drive was mangled- no big deal. Machine shops breed lush crops of "system accidents", when the "accident prone" are learning the hard way. I like it when things go wrong- that's where the real work is.

I finally have the time to work on mine since I just retired. It belonged to my Dad and is identical to the one in the video. Hasn't been used in decades. Just acquired a new (used) motor. The hinged swing arm motor mount cracked when I tried to tightened the swivel. I had to purchase another one of those. If I could get a list of lubricants needed that would be great!

Only things I would do extra is use roller bearings, paint the electric contacts box blue (the red handle has enough presence) and repair with JB weld the broken edge of the pulley. Congrats on you NOS lathe!

If you need a new variable speed pulley or sheaves, Speed Selector makes pulleys that replace the Reeves, Hi-Lo, TB Woods and Lovejoy pulleys that went out of business or got bought. Most are in stock or Speed Selector will custom make if needed. They have an actual engineering department; very helpful.

Great job !! and very relevant to me. I have an old English lathe that I will soon be embarking on doing exactly what you have done with your Atlas, I hope it goes as well and turns out as nicely as yours has. Graham

I would have suggested to check the dovetails of the cross slide and top slide, and to have scraped them as well as your bed, this will improves it's accuracy and easy of use, but there always another time to improve it. great video though, I have one I will be restoring over the next few months, maybe I will post my efforts as well.

Great Job on the restoration. It looks really good. I restored a Atlas 6” Lathe not too long ago and know what you were talking about on the Pride of bring a really old piece of Machinery back to Life. I have really enjoyed my little Lathe, and know you will enjoy yours. Nice work 👍

First time I've ever seen someone use their Rogue rack as a drying rack for a paint project... Lmao. Also liked seeing how you have everything packed in the garage since I've also got a rogue rack and a bunch of tools that are always fighting for space in my garage

Despite what it says on the can, EvapoRust will actually eat a lot of different types of paint off. There is a an orange goo paint remover that I like but you have to wrap your part in cellophane to keep it wet and working but if you have deep crevices, evapor rust might be good at finishing the job plus it removes rust amazingly
