Mr. Pete. Thanks for the "0.0001" trick. Four year ago I said something similar to a fried regarding 30 degrees and said you could figure it out using Trig. he said 'yea right'. You prove my point well, it's even in print!! Thanks again for another great video.

Thank you for the Atlas series! I was given an old Atlas 10f that was a little rough around the edges from disuse. Your videos have helped me disassemble, clean, and oil the different parts with confidence and have saved me so much time trying to figure it out from the drawings alone.

FOLLOW REST I can not seem to find much on KZitem for Follow Rests. I have a SB 10K and confused on the proper or best position for tool alignment to rest. Looking through a number of videos I see the rest behind the cut, before the cut, and parallel to the tool cutting. Also of interest is the tool post itself in relation to the follow rest. Using a newer quick change tool post seems to place the follow rest rather far behind the actual cutting. (I have a few bits that cause the holder to drop down lower than the compound flat so it's positioned off center to the left.) The old style lantern post could set it closer. By the way - you are one I go to for good information - my shop teacher. Thank You !!

Thanks, just purchased an Craftsman 12" Lathe and am going over it and painting it. I just learned my pins are missing for the compound which wasn't mounted and I didn't know about the pins. But, a milling attachment was mounted and it had both pins. The pins are marked 5/16" FYI. I also have the Boring Table but it has a dovetail mount and won't fit my Lathe. Your Videos have been very helpful. TY

I can't believe Atlas/Craftsman didn't mark the base protractor scale both ways at the front ! What use is a scale over on the back side ?..... Don't you just love adjusting Gib strip screws back and forth, back and forth ? Nice to see how another lathe is built, MrPete.

Would it be possible to cut a slot in the back of the pins? Then when you push the pin in with the screwdriver, you could use the slot to control or correct rotation of the pin. Maybe also punch or drill a little divot in the back end of the pin on the "up" side. Or would this have to be done before the pins are hardened.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. The Compound rest on my South Bend does not look quite as bad as the one shown in the video. The inside edges of the T slot is broken out a bit. Do you think rebuilding with Brass would be strong enough for the clamping surface??

The square table with the Tee slots on it mounts onto the milling attachment and a boring bar can be mounted in the spindle. That way milling, drilling and boring can be done. It essentially makes the lathe into a horizontal boring machine.
