The little cylinders with the slot in the side that you showed in the first video are bushings for the milling cutter holder. The holder goes in the head stock and is just of one diameter so the bushing were needed to hold the cutters. Got some myself. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas.

I have this exact machine with most of the same attachments except for the drilling table. It is a very versatile machine and I truly enjoy it. I would be very cautious of putting the machine into back gear and make sure the lash on the gears is correct. These Z-Max gears do not take a lot of abuse and I found that out the first time I went to thread and broke most of the teeth off of the bull gear. There is a shimmed adjustment on the back of the headstock to take care of the gear lash issue. Thank you ever so much for all of your videos. They are a wonderful inspiration to me and I am sure many others.

Mr. Pete: That long bar you showed near the end of this video with the "V block bolted on looks like an action wrench for removing rifle actions from the barrel. The handle is very long for that, but the rest sure looks like an action wrench. It may be for another threaded connection like the barrel and action connection.

Thank you Mr Pete, I enjoyed watching these videos. I keep telling my wife we need to go to an auction, or at least a flea market and look for things like this. Just looking at some of those tools reminds me of a time when, made in USA meant something. I can feel the excitement in your voice looking through those boxes. Yeah I'm jealous, but there isn't much like that going on around here. You live out there in a part of USA where so much of America was being built. All I have is a 9 inch South Bend lathe that I restored. Again thanks for sharing this find with us. Looking forward to seeing more from those lathes. Ken...Marina CA.... PS, right after WW II when we were buying toys etc, from Japan, people scoffed at their products and said they wouldn't buy from Japan, so the Japanese got around that, by putting made in Usa on their products. Well if you look on a world map, there is a place in Japan called Usa . It;s a tiny place but it served it's purpose in selling their products. Now made in Japan means quality.
Nice find! Have you ever used black strap molasses mixed with water to clean the rust off of items? A mixer of 6 to 8 parts water to 1 part molasses works great for removing rust. Just get a tub or bucket of some kind to hold the mixed product, drop the rusty parts into the mixer and just let them soak for a few days. Pull out the parts after they have had time to soak and rinse them off with water. It worked great. I am sure there are a few videos on youtube showing the process. The mixer may mold after time, if it does, just skim off the mold keep on using it.

Mr. P., Lemon juice can be useful in dealing with corroded ferrous metal. LJ contains citric and ascorbic acids. Citric acid is weak, but a good complexing agent. So, it is SLOW to attack metallic iron, but deals with the already corroded material. Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is a reducing agent, which changes ferric to ferrous. Ferrous is easier to bring into solution than ferric. Rinse with water, dry THOROUGHLY, and oil, after treating corroded areas. Eli D.

My first repair was the half nut and the cross feed gear which were purchased from Causing . I gave the nice lady the numbers and she sent a PDF print out so I could pick my part . It dates to the mid 40s . No quick change gear box or gears . Now that small 4 jaw chuck looks like one I have , but it's labelled Dunlap , and sold by Sears . I think it was made by Atlas also from the 40s . Well Merry Christmas any way ! Steve

Mr Pete, Enjoy your videos - I'm a retired Elect Engineer and enjoy building and fixing most anything - and enjoy my home machine shop quite a bit. I have that same 12" craftsman (unfortunatley w/o the quick change gear box). Mine has too much vibration and I've yet to figure out exactly how I want to fix it. I notice that when you turned yours on - it has the same problem - The motor tends to bounce up and down causing that vibration. The motor is mounted on a pivoting bracket with the motor weight tensioning the belt. Have any thoughts on resolving this without removing too much of the origional? ??? Dave W

All my lathes shake. Its a combo of things. The motors are balanced, but not very well. They all vibrate. Every pully shaft, chuck, you name it--is out of balance. It all adds up. On a small light lathe there is little to dampen it. No easy cure

Hi Mr. Pete, just watched this video. So almost 3 years later if you are still looking for Manufacturing Date info on the lathe from the serial number, you can contact the Yahoo Group Atlas-Craftsman site and input your model and serial number data. There is a fellow, Robert Downs from Houston, who if he is not currently tied up with flooding issues, tracks the serial numbers on Atlas-Craftsman lathes and he can give you an idea of when the lathe might have been made. Also, if you have not figured out by now, in one of the shots you had some funny looking small diameter bushings with slots in the sides - these go with the milling attachment mandrel or arbor and are the bushings used to adapt the ID of the arbor from 1/2" down to 3/8" and 1/4" for different size milling cutter shank diameters.

I may be able to help here. I just bought a Craftsman 12" lathe on Sunday, (somewhat your fault Mr. Pete, I'll be buying your course soon.), and it's a similar model to the one in this video, but not exact; mines a 101-28910. Trying to research the date and found the serial numbers don't tell you much when it comes to Craftsman metal lathe's, but some said there's a date tag in the bed. In looking it over I found it, middle of the bed between the ways. Here's a couple of pictures, the first one shows an upside down "Atlas" cast in the bed on the left of center, and the date tag and another tag on the right, also upside down. My lathe's manufacture date is 2-24-65:

Hi Mr. Pete I have a 12 inch Craftsman early version I bought it back in the 1980s. It is a babbit bearing model non quick change the guy I bought it from was an old school machinist he hand scraped the bed just like you would do on an old Bridgeport. It came with a brass jaw commutator tail stock chuck. It had a city of Detroit id tag on it the guy told me he bought it from the city of Detroit transportation department who used it to rebuild starter motors and generators for city buses. Mine actually runs fairly quiet. One key to setting up the feed change gears it to use a strip of printer paper to set the gap between the teeth and using a high quality synthetic grease lubricant, I find it comical that people tell me an Atlas Lathe is junk because of the "cheap" Zamack gears, then they go out and buy a new Chinese lathe with plastic gears lol. I think a 10-12inch Craftsman/Atlas is ideal because it is a larger swing lathe that two people can easily carry downstairs to a basement workshop. Most of the people who don't like lathe don't seem to get that it is lighter duty homeowner grade machine and try to take heavy cuts at high "production" feed rates.

Hi Mr. Pete. I too have a 101.07403, serial number 19681. When I first got it I really wanted to know all I could about it, and in doing some research figured out that is was most likely made in between 44-46. Unfortunately there was not the greatest record keeping at the time so it could be estimated. Either way, long story short, I would venture to guess that your new one is of the same vintage, maybe a little newer. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Probably so, most of the shops here when I started in 1974. Was making parts for textile mills, a few made NASCAR parts for Holman and Moody. There was some screw machine shops but not that many. Lucky for me I went to work for Eaton in the late 70's machining parts for truck transmissions so I am one of the lucky ones. A few small lathes show up occasionally but the prices reflect the fact. One can get a Bridgeport or a clone quite reasonable, a lot more of them was around.

It sure would be easier for us would be machinists to get started if there weren't so many people jacking up the prices so they can add to their collections. I just want one lathe...not 6.

I don't know that much about lathes but I know a little something about CRAFTSMAN. In the early 50's Sears changed the logo for it's Crafstman brand, it's a subtle change but pre 1953 the lower leg of the C in the Craftsman logo underlined the rest of the letters in the logo. Your lathe has a post 1952 logo. The only thing that I have heard about Craftsman Timken equipped lathes is that the timkens in the headstock are dated.

Tubalcain- You showed a steady rest and a follower rest. Thanks to your videos, I'm aware of what a steady rest is for. But I don't recall ever hearing about a follower rest. Do you have any videos of this device in use? Or can you comment about what it's for? Thanks!

hi the follow rest is bolted to the cariage and is mounted in line with the cutting tool when you are machining long shafts or long threaded rods like lead srews for example it stops the long workpiece from flexing , dave in the uk.

I just restored a 1951 atlas lathe 101.27740 which was rusted everywhere. I made a trough and submerged the entire bed in a product named EVAPO-RUST, which I bought at my local auto parts store. Overnight it chemically removed all the rust without any pitting or surface degradation. I used it on all the other parts also. It is safe on the skin and penetrates those hard to get places on the parts

At about 9:30, the unknown tool looks like a Wheeler Engineering action wrench (#1) for a Mauser rifle action. The barrel was held in a special vice mounted on a bench an the action was turned using this type of wrench. If all was set up and done properly, the action would not be twisted.

I have one of those lathes, and somehow the lead screw end bushing housing gotten broke in the web area between the bushing and where it bolts to the lathe, would you be interested in selling the one you have? Like yours, the one I have has the quick change gear box as well. I know nothing about the history of it but it is exactly like yours in having the pot metal gears and will not take too muck of a cut when cutting steel, it was given to me by my brother in which he had all ways re-ground and had new gibs made for it everything movement is good and no slop on the carriage or the cross slide or compound. He had replaced the half nut assembly with the bronze type. Good video and Heck of a purchase with all the accessories that came with it.
