As always, another fine video. Keep up the good work. A side note: for anyone looking at buying a Sears craftsman / Dunlap 109 lathe. My first lathe was a Craftsman 109. It was given to me. and compared to the Atlas 101, 6" lathe, the 109 was a piece of junk. First of all, It use the number MT0, yes that is correct a MT0. which is almost impossible to find any more. the through hole through the spindle was something like 1/4 ". Unless you're doing small clock or watch making, it's not very usable. The bearings are made out of bronze, one of which was tapered for adjustment by a nut between the planetary gear and the bearing journal. On the plus side, you could use a standard drill chuck directly on the spindle, Since it had, if I remember correctly 1/2 - 20. threads You might be lucky to find any tool holders for this machine, Otherwise it's make your own. Although I did like the crank handle at the end of the lead screw, for fine adjustment, you had to use the have-nuts to use it. And this is what wore out on my machine. All non-moving parts are made of a low grade cast. Very brittle. You can only take very very light cuts on it. and I never liked going behind the machine to loosen the tailstock. It just did not make sense to design it like that. my advice, stay away from the Dunlap 109, and look for a Atlas 101 or better. I now have a 9", South Bend lathe, And I am very happy with it. I can do most anything I need to do with it, without worrying about breaking something. Again, great video, keep up the good work. Joe.
Thanks for all the work you information you put into these videos, Lyle. Never apologize for the length of your videos or the information you share with us through different sources such as old catalogs, they're very informative!
It was very common in the 1950s and 1960s for home mechanics to simply clip off the grounding plug on machinery bought for home use. Simplest reason is many homes of that era only had 2 strand wiring. In the mid 1960s adapter plugs with an attachment for a grounding wire reached the consumer market, but instructions for how to install a ground in the home weren't that widely distributed. Eventually the National Builders Code caught up and we began to see 3 strand wiring in the homes (vs the old cloth covered rubber 2 strand wires inside the walls of many homes). The result is a heck of a lot of machines from the pre-1970s will be found with 3 prong plugs missing the ground plug.
I noticed that Green Atlas catalog was stamped "Peoria, Ill." my lathe spent most of it's life (with my Grandfather in Pekin and Chillicothe Illinois, I've had it in Columbus, Ohio since 1992. I also noticed that the other different lathe had a model # of 109.xxxxx I think that would be a different manufacturer than Atlas. Lot's of great information!! Thanks again.
Thank you Mr. Pete for helping in my education of the lathe. I say this because my dad Dave (went by Pete) was a machinist he has recently passed away and left me his Atlas lathe and Altas Milling Machine (horizontal with Vertical). I do not know how to use these amazing machines, but educating myself so that I can sell them.
mrpete222 I would love too, but really my husband and I are avid fisherman and our world pretty much revolves around that and it really leaves us no time for other hobbies. We had thought we would be able to, but unfortunately they would probably go to waste in our garage. The guilt is definitely there though because this was a passion of my dads.
Thanks for another great video, I have one of these that was given to me by a very good friend who has now passed away. I plan on doing a complete restoration of this lathe. Like you I have several lathes and find myself working on one of my lathes or Bridgeport every week. Cannot wait to retire and get more time in the shop!
This little lathe would have been a step up for me at one time. After having used my father's SB 9" (which he bought new in 1964) I bought my own first "lathe". It was a Porter-Cable(?) brake drum lathe. The ways were swayed out; it was never intended as a general purpose lathe (no threading leadscrew/halfnuts; no compound); very limited selection of feeds. My first step up was to another SB9 which had been used as an OD grinder for many years. The ways were swayed out; the carriage was so badly worn that the V-grooves had cut into the screw holes that were supposed to hold the oil-wipers! It did have a quick-change, and came with quite a bit of tooling, including 3 and 4 jaw chucks, tailstock and headstock centers, dogs, faceplates, Armstrong toolholders, a coffee can with a couple of pounds of high-speed steel tool bits, a steady rest, a follower rest, a taper attachment, a collet drawbar and collets, and a milling attachment. If the lathe itself had been in better condition this would have been quite a deal for $400 (in the late 1970s). I actually did quite a bit of hobby machining on those two lathes. Accuracy was possible by a lot of fooling around and final touch-up with files and emery. I inherited my dad's SB9 in 2005.
Yeah...it really hurts me to see guys grinding/sanding in their shop right next to lathes....here on RUclips....even the really good machinists/welders do it....milling machines aren't as vulnerable...but still a bad habit... I had a small welding shop, just me, at one time....all the grinding and chop-saw was done in a curtained off area....grinding swarf might as well be a dry version of valve grinding compound....
I inherited a Sears Craftsman 101.21400 metal lathe, which is the same thing as an Atlas 618, from a friend of mine, that just passed away, this year. His mom just basically gave it to me!
Just bought 2 lathes at same place 12 x 36 with quick change gear box and 6 inch 618,,, but big surprises was in the rusted bucket with them,,,had milling attachment, steady rest and follower rest and faceplate with 3 dogs and nice 4 jaw Chuck to go 3 jaw on it all for 12 inch and I payed 500 for everything and got it home and it was the exact same model number as my 12 I have already,,and I slid micrometer and caliper down both lathes ways and was perfect and needle on dail indicator hardly moved on spindle,,deal of a lifetime.
@@mrpete222 Mr Pete you created a lathe monster,,l have 5 atlas lathes now,,lol,,,in the 5 I have find one tooth broke of a planetary gear and one really worn drive gear and no real way wear on that atlases, l think it's because they was the hobbyist lathe,,,I've walked away from several more high production and more expensive because of wear issues, I feel the atlas is not capable of really hurting itself unless you force it too.
You are by far my favorite person to watch, you sound like my grandfather and teach like my highschool shop teacher, they should have paid you 100,000 a year
Over the past 40 years I have collected a bunch of the old Atlas and Dunlap machines. They were free or cheap and I have planned to set them up. They all need a lot of work. Now that I am retired I will clean up an area in my basement to set up a lathe, milling machine, and shaper. Thanks for the info. Good Luck, Rick
Why at the age of 73 do I watch something that encourages me to look for a piece of equipment I have never operated but I do none the less. I think you hit the nail on the head when you mention our rural area here in Iowa. You simply don't see this sort of thing here. Growing up I knew of one amateur machinist in our area and of course he assumed room temperature many many years ago. I really enjoyed this video though as I would not have known what to look for had something like this showed up at a sale.
You’ve got to be kidding me, I currently have my eyes on an Atlas 10” lathe posted on craigslist and decided the obvious thing to do was consult some of Mr Pete's videos before making a hasty decision. Cant believe the timing considering this video was posted less than half an hour ago. Will be eager to view part two when it becomes available. As always thanks for all your videos and hard work!
Wanted to take a minute to say thank you for this video. I had the opportunity to purchase a 6" Craftsman lathe today. As you stated you get excited at the opportunity when it presents itself. I found several things wrong with the lathe as I inspected it. First the compound was missing. Cross slide present as well as tool post. Banjo was in good condition with no damaged gears, as well as the extra gears were there. Four jaw chuck froze on headstock screw. Tail stock was off machine but intact. Ways were in good condition. I could not move the carriage easily really stiff. It didn't have a hand wheel for the lead screw it was at the end like the Dunlap. It was badged Craftsman. They were offering g a bunch of accessories with it as well. It did have the milling attachment, but no dog or plate. Last thing without making this to long a price tag of $500.00, I passed on the purchase due to the issues I found. They are going to reach out to me if the compound is found.
This was priceless!! I am looking for my 1st lathe, I got a price on one of these and hope to see it soon. Thank you for all the information and advice I am not so clueless anymore!!
Mr Pete, thank you so much for all THE information about the atlas lathe. I just purchased a 10" I didn't even notice it came with out a tail stock . I WAS TO EXCITED.If you have one for sale I would gladly but it. DAVE
I believe if you switch from foreword to reverse while running, it keeps running in the direction it is going. You have to stop and restart it before it will reverse directions. You shouldn't have to worry about the chuck spinning off...Russ
Yep, any single-phase motor with a centrifugal start (most) will continue to run in the same direction if switched quickly from forward to reverse (and vice-versa). Only if the speed drops so low that the centrifugal starting switch drops back into starting position will the motor try to reverse (at which point it is not much different than starting in reverse from stopped). The reversing switch only reverses the starting windings. I learned this the first time I tried power tapping on a single-phase drill press (to which I had added a reversing switch so I could do power tapping - ha!). The tap just kept on going deeper after I tried to reverse the motor suddenly. Busted a 1/2-13 tap and learned a lesson. Probably a cheap enough lesson, all things considered.
Problem is it you want to stop the lathe fast you quickly hit the switch and go to far and the lathe keeps on going. A separate switch is easy to wire in and solves the problem.
Excellent video, as usual Mr. Pete. I'm looking forward to a similar tutorial on the South Bend. Two model A's are coming up for auction locally in a couple of weeks and I'd love to bring one of them home with me, but of course, I want the best one.
pete... i have an old myford lathe ml10 made here in nottingham [ england ] they are well made but the spares cost a fortune! i had before a dean smith and grace z13.. they were the rolls royce of lathes! it cost me $3o /£20 it was being thrown out due to the factory going all cnc . when i picked it up the motor was still warm! i had it for about 5 years then we decided to go and live in spain ... i sold all my stuff lathe shaper milling machine welding eqpt saw pillar drill grinder vises files cutting tools every thing..for $200 /£150.. which i regret to this day.. that was 30 years ago... you live and learn... by the way great videos look after yourself.. regards from nottingham... laurence
Hi Tubalcain , I just bought a craftsman 618 lathe. 101.21400. I watched a bunch of your videos before buying the lathe and they helped out a great deal. I feel the lathe I got was very well taken care of. From watching this video I was wonder if your still offered the video series on how to run a atlas or craftsman lathe. I’d be pretty interested in this depending on price and if it’s still available. Any details would be much appreciated! Thank you and keep up the great videos ! Chad S
Yes--still available. All ordering info is shown in this video. Thanks for your interest. SUMMER SCHOOL SPECIAL EDUCATION Video SHOP Courses logan lathe tubalcain ruclips.net/video/BOg80I6BX6U/видео.html
I greatly respect your opinion as a machinist and appreciate your abilities as a teacher. Would you please recommend a few lathes and milling machines for rifle gunsmithing?
I just purchased a craftsman 6" lathe now believe me when I tell you I was very excited about this lathe first of all it came with a milling attachment, a rotary table, spindle mill cutter arbor, an angle vise, all the boring bar, bits, woodruf cutters, craftsman V Blocks and clamps, micrometer stop, dead center, live center, steady rest, follower rest, RH tool holder, LH tool holder, Straight tool holder, threading tool, knurling tool, parting tool, tool post, face plate, lathe dogs, The best part of all this......It was still in it's shipping crate still cover in packing grease as were all of the stuff I mentioned!!! The lathe is about 45 years old and NEVER USED!!!! what do you think I paid for all of this?
bear in mind people, zamak alloy has a tensile strength equaling bronze, although it is not as ductile. basically, while inferior to alloy steel, it isn't bad but it is somewhat brittle so it tends to fail all at once. that's my tw cents anyway.
I just bought a 109 and the 101 6 inch in this vedio in a package deal both in really good condition and all there for 400 dollars for both, couldn't pass them up,, tour them down cleaned and repainted them and displayed them,, l only use my 12 inch atlas anyway and just found an original milling attachment for it..stole it also in great condition..even got 2 high dollar jacobs ball bearing chucks with the 2 small lathes.
A friend of mine gave me one of these about 30 years ago that was pretty rough. My dad took it to work and totally restored it, but some stuff was missing so it never got put to use. Last week another friend gave me one that he'd bought for his dad about 20 years ago that's complete, but very rusty. I hope to take both of these non-working "dad lathes" and make one good lathe.
I'm cleaning up a atlas 6 in 101 today ...it has all of the gears and change parts . The bed is perfect and it also has approx 50 cutters . I'm anxious to follow your site for more info . This one does have a serial number. I'm going to try to find the book you spoke about in the video. Thank you
The Dunlap/Craftsman's with V ways were made by A&A Industries. It should be noted the cross slide and compound screws do not move any kind of even distance like 100 thou per revolution. They are 24 thread per inch pitch. I wouldn't have one which is why I own 3 of slightly different variety including a very early one. I thought it might be fun some day to polish a turd by making the feed screws .100" per revolution. Maybe make one into a "in the house" office lathe. ??
Thank you for all that you have done for the hobby/industry. Very informative and the knowledge will be on the internet forever. I recently purchased an Atlas 3950 but it did not come with a chuck. It does not look like a 6" chuck would fit with the jaws opened wide. What size chuck is recommended? Mine has a backplate with holes measuring 4.125" bolt circle. Thank you, sir.
had a 109..years ago you can now find at swapmeets 50..100$..usually a pile of parts the 618 are starting to command higher prices now..oh on 109 one thing to watch out for are bent spindles thanks for videos
I sold Craftsman tools at the Cedar Rapids, Iowa store many moons ago. 101 is the division number. The model number is what follows the decimal point or dash.
@@mrpete222 here's a list that gives all the subcontract manufacturers: vintagemachinery.org/Craftsman/manufacturers.aspx Later they simplified to just using 9 for tools. We had "Big 9" for power tools and "Small 9" for hand tools. My wife and I, and our grandkids, and even our cat love to watch your videos. Thank you for what you do!
Mr. Pete, as I mentioned before I have one of these craftsman lathes in this video and was wondering, does the machine inherently have reverse or would I have to install a reversing switch to get reverse? I haven't needed it yet bit I wondered about that the other day and you're the only one I've seen with one of these lathes that I know of. Thanks a lot Mr. Pete!
@@mrpete222 Makes sense, thanks. The motor on it says craftsman so I suspect it's the original motor...or maybe the original died and they got a new. How would you determine if it could be ran in reverse?
I Have a craftsman 109 I am currently rebuilding new oil lite bearings and such it is a little better than a toy and lovingly used by my dad to make small parts. but it is otherwise in very good condition.
Speaking of 'grounding'; my old equivalent model demonstrated 'intermittant' start-up, and I had a complaint of being 'shocked' (some) by a user. Cause: the Shunt Capacitor on the motor (mounted horizontally in the housing on the motor) had it's electrolyte (kind of like a old zinc-carbon battery) run out of the end of it, and thus causing both issues. Replacement values need not be critically the same as the bad Cap , except that the 'working voltage' need be double of your actual line voltage. Newer ones are better made, and a bit smaller.
Yes- lack of proper grounding can become an issue in shops with multiple machines. IF a 'hot' shorts to a chassis of an ungrounded device, then that device (or electric hand tool) becomes a marked hazard around other devices, when the user touches both. When 220ACV is in the mix, then the issue becomes almost instant death.
Thank You again Lyle....My South Bend 10k gap bed bench with taper attachment I bought new..They did not offer hardened bed ways because of the gap bed feature (darn)...BUT I LOVE OLD AMERICAN IRON, now I am old !!!!!...MR PETE 4 PRESIDENT...Jeff
Hello, I have a Dunlap version of this craftsman model 109.0702. I'm missing a few gears. Would you know of a place I could get new/used gear set and the paper work for it.... other then that mine is in good shape and runs well... Just wish I could use the screw drive... Thanks...
Mr P..... if you have a moment, could you please tell me if the Atlas 10-f manual would be the same or useful with a 10D model. I recently picked up what I believe is a 10D and I'm stoked to kick off this restoration. Looked hard but I was unable to locate any manual labeled specifically for the 10D.... You are the man. Thanks for all you've taught all of us.
Good show, Mr. Pete. Nice Job. BTW, I don't know if you are aware of it, but the Dunlop 109 lathe made by AA, used Atlas 6" lathe change gears, they are interchangeable, even the change gear bushings, etc. That is a source for replacement gears. Thanks for this & your other work... ..............Dick
Hey Mr. Pete, You have really taught me a lot over the years and it is so appreciated! I acquired a model 101 lathe a few years ago from a family member and just love this machine for what it is. You said you bought the lathe for video making purposes, and I am curious if you would want to part out any of it? Like the tool post wedge? Thanks for everything!!
Mr. Pete, many thanks for all your wonderful instructional material! Question sir: I purchased a 10" Atlas with a V-Belt drive last fall. My spindle still turns when released from the counter-shaft. I've tried adjusting the counter-shaft/spindle belt tension with no success. Any suggestions you might offer? I am retired but still have a lot to learn so I've signed up for Introduction To Mechanical Tool Technology at a local Junior College this spring. Thanks again & Happy New Year!
Many thanks Mr.Pete. You're a wonderful educator but for someone as green as me, I really need to wait for my class to start. It's currently my understanding that on belt drive lathes like mine, the spindle is started and stopped with the power switch rather than the lever/clutch I'm accustomed to. My class starts in just over a week. Patience Grasshopper & Reach For The Stars!
I think you did a great job on this video. I think its even better then the video I did a few months ago on "How to Buy a lathe " LOL Thank for doing the video.
Mr. Stewart keeps saying model 101., but with Sears Co. the prefix (101) is the department in the department store. The rest of the number is the the actual model number. Ron W4BIN
Hey, here's a thought. couldn't you replace those weird alloy gears with modern steel gears? Like couldn't you make your own by making molds of the gears that you have and then send the molds with all the specs on it to a gear manufacturing plant or simply make the gears yourself out of the type of steel used for gear making?
..for gears.....That would be Martin Sprocket.......not only do they sell all sorts of sprockets and gears....they will do almost any sort of machining on them for you. my last job I was a maintenance mechanic....but my employer had no machinery except an old Chinese bench top drill press....I got a lot of stuff (even 60-70 year old, which most of it was) running by going to Martin....it was convenient....just a mile away, and 2 right turns....
Hello MrPete222 I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make all the videos that you do and have. I recently aquired a 10F TH48 Atlas lathe. It was given to me from a friend, unfortunately the has been neglected and not used for along time. It has set out in a old barn so it has rusted up some and very dirty, anyway I will soon start the process of taking it apart, cleaning and refurbishing the lathe. I have started to watch your videos on Atlas/craftsman lathes and found them very informative and helpful on how a Lathe actually works also how to start using one when the time comes. I was wondering how I could go about getting a copy of your Atlas Lathe course you mentioned in this video? I would like to watch it from start to finish. I also ordered a few books from ebay that you talk about on using and running a late. Thank you again and I hope that you see my comments and questions.
Hello, good luck with that machine. Thank you for watching and thank you for your interest. Watch the following video for all of the information you might need regarding my video courses search RUclips for this title. Winter special video courses Tubalcain atlas lathe
Real nice, Why not keep it to yourself? What is the point of saying that? This dude goes through the trouble of sharing something that can't be bought and you gotta rip on him. I bet if you came to my beer circle we could bounce you around like a volley ball but hey we're not a bunch of jerks.
Must be some miscommunication here, mrpete and Rucker are friends and Lyle mentions for us to watch Rucker all the time, I was just letting Lyle know that I watch Keith, just like we were told. What are you talking about?
Mrpete is by far my favorite RUclips channel, I've watched all of his videos, most of them more than once! Because of him I saved up and bought an atlas lathe and actually know how to use it. If I had to find something I'm dissatisfied about him, it would be that he doesn't put out a new video everyday and the ones he does put out are not long enough.
Hi, with this excellent guidance I just purchased an Atlas 9 inch lathe. I assume the Atlas book "Lathe operation and Machinists Tables" you highlight applies to this lathe as well? And is it necessary to get the South Bend book too?
any thoughts on doing a video on setting up and getting the first cuts under ones belt? like the importance of secure mounting on rigidity and safety? cutter setup and ECT. i try and watch every video but am sure i missed a couple over years
I believe so, as thats the exact same spot I find myself in, and tinkering to find out why I'm having such troubles,, I'm finding that what I'm doing here at home is nothing like I learned at school 30 some years ago
Mr Pete ! At 21:30, how would you go about doing the repair to fix the improper job done by the hammer-and-chisel mechanic? Great teaching as always. Still lookin' to buy an apartment friendly lathe myself, but these are the best! "How it works" and your "tips" are the best. You shoulda run for president, a real true blooded American! Not those two jokers we got to pick between
it's too bad you're not keeping it. Quite a few of us have lathes this size, since our workshop space dictates the size of machines we can own. I have the slightly newer version of this lathe, the 101. 24100/ Atlas 618 with the Timken bearings and the 1" /10 thread spindle. Nice but little.
I'm trying to find more information about a Craftsman 101.28910 . I see in different videos its also called a Atlas 618. I am interested in selling it for my mother-in-law. Can you steer me in the right direction for some pricing ideas. I believe its a 6" by 36. Any help would be very appreciated.
Hola. Amigo , tengo un torno craftman modelo :101 y le falta el mecanismo que mueve el carro de manera automatica, podrias ayudarme y mostrarme que piezas se necesitan para reparar ese mecanismo ? Hello. Friend, I have a craftsman lathe model: 101 and it is missing the mechanism that moves the car automatically, could you help me and show me what parts are needed to repair that mechanism?
Hello. Not sure if you still have your Atlas lathe. I just picked up a slightly smaller version of the one you have. I am looking for a tool holder and a new tail stop that could take a center point and/or a Chuck. If you know of any supply house for old parts for these lathes, I would sincerely appreciate it. Thank you’
Mr. Pete, I have achance to buy a sears dunlap model 109-0703, but I can'tseem to find out anything about this model. any information would be helpful.
I have two 12" Atlas Craftsman lathes in very good working condition and a good bit of tooling to go with them. I have a buyer interested in both of them. Can you tell me how I might assess a fair value of them. Bot are 12x36 with quick change gear box.
That is a very tough call. I would say they are worth between 1000 and 1500 each depending on condition and accessories. I would recommend that you search eBay completed auctions to see what they are selling for.
Thanks for your response. I have seen a couple listed, but not sold. They seem to run $2k and one at $6K. Kind of all over the board. These are the 101.28990 machines under the cabinet motors. Again - thanks for your response.
Question: I'm afraid the bronze bushings on my Craftsman 101.07301 are bad. Do you have any tips on removing and replace the bushings? Thank you! I've watched every video in this series and it was so helpful.
Newmachinist I have a Atlas Milling machine! It’s horizontal with a vertical... my father passed away and it was left to me. I also have a atlas lathe.
Hi Pete. Hey. I was wondering if you have extra parts around that you sell ??? I just got myself a 101 and Im need of some stuff for it. Change gears. Thread cutting thumb dial. Speed change pulley on the spindle shaft

I have two of those 109 lathes; I kind of like them although I don't usually mention them due to the inability of others to not dis them. One of them is an early Dunlap, so early that the back gears and power feeds were options! It has neither of course. Thanks as always for the great video Mr. Pete!
As always, another fine video. Keep up the good work.
A side note: for anyone looking at buying a Sears craftsman / Dunlap 109 lathe. My first lathe was a Craftsman 109. It was given to me. and compared to the Atlas 101, 6" lathe, the 109 was a piece of junk. First of all, It use the number MT0, yes that is correct a MT0. which is almost impossible to find any more. the through hole through the spindle was something like 1/4 ". Unless you're doing small clock or watch making, it's not very usable. The bearings are made out of bronze, one of which was tapered for adjustment by a nut between the planetary gear and the bearing journal. On the plus side, you could use a standard drill chuck directly on the spindle, Since it had, if I remember correctly 1/2 - 20. threads You might be lucky to find any tool holders for this machine, Otherwise it's make your own. Although I did like the crank handle at the end of the lead screw, for fine adjustment, you had to use the have-nuts to use it. And this is what wore out on my machine. All non-moving parts are made of a low grade cast. Very brittle. You can only take very very light cuts on it. and I never liked going behind the machine to loosen the tailstock. It just did not make sense to design it like that.
my advice, stay away from the Dunlap 109, and look for a Atlas 101 or better.
I now have a 9", South Bend lathe, And I am very happy with it. I can do most anything I need to do with it, without worrying about breaking something.
Again, great video, keep up the good work.
Joe.
This is what I mean, no love for the little 109...
Thanks for all the work you information you put into these videos, Lyle. Never apologize for the length of your videos or the information you share with us through different sources such as old catalogs, they're very informative!

Thank you Mr. Pete for helping in my education of the lathe. I say this because my dad Dave (went by Pete) was a machinist he has recently passed away and left me his Atlas lathe and Altas Milling Machine (horizontal with Vertical). I do not know how to use these amazing machines, but educating myself so that I can sell them.
Keep them, and learn to operate them. He would love it
mrpete222 I would love too, but really my husband and I are avid fisherman and our world pretty much revolves around that and it really leaves us no time for other hobbies. We had thought we would be able to, but unfortunately they would probably go to waste in our garage. The guilt is definitely there though because this was a passion of my dads.
Thanks for another great video, I have one of these that was given to me by a very good friend who has now passed away. I plan on doing a complete restoration of this lathe. Like you I have several lathes and find myself working on one of my lathes or Bridgeport every week. Cannot wait to retire and get more time in the shop!
This little lathe would have been a step up for me at one time. After having used my father's SB 9" (which he bought new in 1964) I bought my own first "lathe". It was a Porter-Cable(?) brake drum lathe. The ways were swayed out; it was never intended as a general purpose lathe (no threading leadscrew/halfnuts; no compound); very limited selection of feeds.
My first step up was to another SB9 which had been used as an OD grinder for many years. The ways were swayed out; the carriage was so badly worn that the V-grooves had cut into the screw holes that were supposed to hold the oil-wipers! It did have a quick-change, and came with quite a bit of tooling, including 3 and 4 jaw chucks, tailstock and headstock centers, dogs, faceplates, Armstrong toolholders, a coffee can with a couple of pounds of high-speed steel tool bits, a steady rest, a follower rest, a taper attachment, a collet drawbar and collets, and a milling attachment. If the lathe itself had been in better condition this would have been quite a deal for $400 (in the late 1970s).
I actually did quite a bit of hobby machining on those two lathes. Accuracy was possible by a lot of fooling around and final touch-up with files and emery. I inherited my dad's SB9 in 2005.
That grinding dust is mighty damaging
Yeah...it really hurts me to see guys grinding/sanding in their shop right next to lathes....here on RUclips....even the really good machinists/welders do it....milling machines aren't as vulnerable...but still a bad habit...
I had a small welding shop, just me, at one time....all the grinding and chop-saw was done in a curtained off area....grinding swarf might as well be a dry version of valve grinding compound....
I inherited a Sears Craftsman 101.21400 metal lathe, which is the same thing as an Atlas 618, from a friend of mine, that just passed away, this year. His mom just basically gave it to me!
Wow, that's a nice gift
Just bought 2 lathes at same place 12 x 36 with quick change gear box and 6 inch 618,,, but big surprises was in the rusted bucket with them,,,had milling attachment, steady rest and follower rest and faceplate with 3 dogs and nice 4 jaw Chuck to go 3 jaw on it all for 12 inch and I payed 500 for everything and got it home and it was the exact same model number as my 12 I have already,,and I slid micrometer and caliper down both lathes ways and was perfect and needle on dail indicator hardly moved on spindle,,deal of a lifetime.
Wow, that was a deal
@@mrpete222 Mr Pete you created a lathe monster,,l have 5 atlas lathes now,,lol,,,in the 5 I have find one tooth broke of a planetary gear and one really worn drive gear and no real way wear on that atlases, l think it's because they was the hobbyist lathe,,,I've walked away from several more high production and more expensive because of wear issues, I feel the atlas is not capable of really hurting itself unless you force it too.
You are by far my favorite person to watch, you sound like my grandfather and teach like my highschool shop teacher, they should have paid you 100,000 a year
Thank you very much I received $7000 my first year of teaching
Over the past 40 years I have collected a bunch of the old Atlas and Dunlap machines. They were free or cheap and I have planned to set them up. They all need a lot of work. Now that I am retired I will clean up an area in my basement to set up a lathe, milling machine, and shaper. Thanks for the info. Good Luck, Rick
👍👍👍
Why at the age of 73 do I watch something that encourages me to look for a piece of equipment I have never operated but I do none the less. I think you hit the nail on the head when you mention our rural area here in Iowa. You simply don't see this sort of thing here. Growing up I knew of one amateur machinist in our area and of course he assumed room temperature many many years ago. I really enjoyed this video though as I would not have known what to look for had something like this showed up at a sale.
I like that term. I assumed room temperature, LOL
You’ve got to be kidding me, I currently have my eyes on an
Atlas 10” lathe posted on craigslist and decided the obvious thing to do was consult some of Mr Pete's videos before making a hasty decision. Cant believe the timing considering this video was posted less than half an hour ago. Will be eager to view part
two when it becomes available. As always thanks for all your videos and hard work!
Buy first, ask questions later.
Wanted to take a minute to say thank you for this video. I had the opportunity to purchase a 6" Craftsman lathe today. As you stated you get excited at the opportunity when it presents itself. I found several things wrong with the lathe as I inspected it. First the compound was missing. Cross slide present as well as tool post. Banjo was in good condition with no damaged gears, as well as the extra gears were there. Four jaw chuck froze on headstock screw. Tail stock was off machine but intact. Ways were in good condition. I could not move the carriage easily really stiff. It didn't have a hand wheel for the lead screw it was at the end like the Dunlap. It was badged Craftsman. They were offering g a bunch of accessories with it as well. It did have the milling attachment, but no dog or plate. Last thing without making this to long a price tag of $500.00, I passed on the purchase due to the issues I found. They are going to reach out to me if the compound is found.
Yes, that's way too much in that condition
This was priceless!! I am looking for my 1st lathe, I got a price on one of these and hope to see it soon. Thank you for all the information and advice I am not so clueless anymore!!
Glad I could help!
Your information is consistently thorough and excellent. I purchased a Craftsmen lathe last year, I wish would have watched this video first.
Thanks for watching!
As I fellow Atlas lathe owner, I really found this enjoyable and informative. Thanks Mr. Pete.
Does yours have the gear levers?
Mr Pete, thank you so much for all THE information about the atlas lathe. I just purchased a 10"
I didn't even notice it came with out a tail stock . I WAS TO EXCITED.If you have one for sale I would gladly but it.
DAVE
Do you not have one. Your best possibility is eBay
i loved the editing at "most people in their home shops are jacks of all trades, although this guy wasn't" video cuts out
I believe if you switch from foreword to reverse while running, it keeps running in the direction it is going. You have to stop and restart it before it will reverse directions. You shouldn't have to worry about the chuck spinning off...Russ
Yep, any single-phase motor with a centrifugal start (most) will continue to run in the same direction if switched quickly from forward to reverse (and vice-versa). Only if the speed drops so low that the centrifugal starting switch drops back into starting position will the motor try to reverse (at which point it is not much different than starting in reverse from stopped). The reversing switch only reverses the starting windings.
I learned this the first time I tried power tapping on a single-phase drill press (to which I had added a reversing switch so I could do power tapping - ha!). The tap just kept on going deeper after I tried to reverse the motor suddenly. Busted a 1/2-13 tap and learned a lesson. Probably a cheap enough lesson, all things considered.
Problem is it you want to stop the lathe fast you quickly hit the switch and go to far and the lathe keeps on going. A separate switch is easy to wire in and solves the problem.
Excellent video, as usual Mr. Pete. I'm looking forward to a similar tutorial on the South Bend. Two model A's are coming up for auction locally in a couple of weeks and I'd love to bring one of them home with me, but of course, I want the best one.
SB --coming soon.
pete... i have an old myford lathe ml10 made here in nottingham [ england ] they are well made but the spares cost a fortune! i had before a dean smith and grace z13.. they were the rolls royce of lathes! it cost me $3o /£20 it was being thrown out due to the factory going all cnc . when i picked it up the motor was still warm! i had it for about 5 years then we decided to go and live in spain ... i sold all my stuff lathe shaper milling machine welding eqpt saw pillar drill grinder vises files cutting tools every thing..for $200 /£150.. which i regret to this day.. that was 30 years ago... you live and learn... by the way great videos look after yourself.. regards from nottingham... laurence

Hi Tubalcain , I just bought a craftsman 618 lathe. 101.21400. I watched a bunch of your videos before buying the lathe and they helped out a great deal. I feel the lathe I got was very well taken care of. From watching this video I was wonder if your still offered the video series on how to run a atlas or craftsman lathe. I’d be pretty interested in this depending on price and if it’s still available. Any details would be much appreciated! Thank you and keep up the great videos !
Chad S
Yes--still available. All ordering info is shown in this video. Thanks for your interest.

So much time spent to do all these videos. Greatly appreciated.
I greatly respect your opinion as a machinist and appreciate your abilities as a teacher. Would you please recommend a few lathes and milling machines for rifle gunsmithing?
Thanks for watching--I have vids on that
I have the one with no Carriage wheel . Works well just have few things to fix on it .
Thank-you again for the great video I picked up my 12 " Atlas yesterday and looking forward to getting it together ;)
I just purchased a craftsman 6" lathe now believe me when I tell you I was very excited about this lathe first of all it came with a milling attachment, a rotary table, spindle mill cutter arbor, an angle vise, all the boring bar, bits, woodruf cutters, craftsman V Blocks and clamps, micrometer stop, dead center, live center, steady rest, follower rest, RH tool holder, LH tool holder, Straight tool holder, threading tool, knurling tool, parting tool, tool post, face plate, lathe dogs, The best part of all this......It was still in it's shipping crate still cover in packing grease as were all of the stuff I mentioned!!! The lathe is about 45 years old and NEVER USED!!!! what do you think I paid for all of this?
Wow, that is a rare find. $1500
@@mrpete222 I paid $2000.00 for everything.... did I pay to much??
Probably OK if it was in the crate. Not too much. Where else would you find one?
bear in mind people, zamak alloy has a tensile strength equaling bronze, although it is not as ductile. basically, while inferior to alloy steel, it isn't bad but it is somewhat brittle so it tends to fail all at once. that's my tw cents anyway.
That was a good analysis
I just bought a 109 and the 101 6 inch in this vedio in a package deal both in really good condition and all there for 400 dollars for both, couldn't pass them up,, tour them down cleaned and repainted them and displayed them,, l only use my 12 inch atlas anyway and just found an original milling attachment for it..stole it also in great condition..even got 2 high dollar jacobs ball bearing chucks with the 2 small lathes.
A friend of mine gave me one of these about 30 years ago that was pretty rough. My dad took it to work and totally restored it, but some stuff was missing so it never got put to use. Last week another friend gave me one that he'd bought for his dad about 20 years ago that's complete, but very rusty. I hope to take both of these non-working "dad lathes" and make one good lathe.
👍👍
I'm cleaning up a atlas 6 in 101 today ...it has all of the gears and change parts . The bed is perfect and it also has approx 50 cutters .
I'm anxious to follow your site for more info . This one does have a serial number. I'm going to try to find the book you spoke about in the video.
Thank you
Depending on year built the sn# may be on bed under the tailstock and the build date (mo./year) maybe on the headstock bearing.
The Dunlap/Craftsman's with V ways were made by A&A Industries. It should be noted the cross slide and compound screws do not move any kind of even distance like 100 thou per revolution. They are 24 thread per inch pitch. I wouldn't have one which is why I own 3 of slightly different variety including a very early one. I thought it might be fun some day to polish a turd by making the feed screws .100" per revolution. Maybe make one into a "in the house" office lathe. ??
I just found one on Marketplace and needed some more information on it. Thanks for the info.
Currently shopping this is really helpful. Thanks Mr. Pete .
Thank you for all that you have done for the hobby/industry. Very informative and the knowledge will be on the internet forever. I recently purchased an Atlas 3950 but it did not come with a chuck. It does not look like a 6" chuck would fit with the jaws opened wide. What size chuck is recommended? Mine has a backplate with holes measuring 4.125" bolt circle. Thank you, sir.
Always something to learn. Your efforts are much appreciated.
had a 109..years ago you can now find at swapmeets 50..100$..usually a pile of parts the 618 are starting to command higher prices now..oh on 109 one thing to watch out for are bent spindles thanks for videos
Yup I have a 109 here with a spindle crookeder than a dog's hind leg. They're too small to do more than the smallest of things.
Make a solid replacement spindle, it'll be much more rigid.
I sold Craftsman tools at the Cedar Rapids, Iowa store many moons ago. 101 is the division number. The model number is what follows the decimal point or dash.
Thank you, I did not know what the numbers meant
@@mrpete222 here's a list that gives all the subcontract manufacturers:
vintagemachinery.org/Craftsman/manufacturers.aspx
Later they simplified to just using 9 for tools. We had "Big 9" for power tools and "Small 9" for hand tools.
My wife and I, and our grandkids, and even our cat love to watch your videos. Thank you for what you do!
Mr. Pete, as I mentioned before I have one of these craftsman lathes in this video and was wondering, does the machine inherently have reverse or would I have to install a reversing switch to get reverse? I haven't needed it yet bit I wondered about that the other day and you're the only one I've seen with one of these lathes that I know of. Thanks a lot Mr. Pete!
You would have to have a reversing switch. And a motor capable of being reversed
@@mrpete222 Makes sense, thanks. The motor on it says craftsman so I suspect it's the original motor...or maybe the original died and they got a new. How would you determine if it could be ran in reverse?
I Have a craftsman 109 I am currently rebuilding new oil lite bearings and such it is a little better than a toy and lovingly used by my dad to make small parts. but it is otherwise in very good condition.
Speaking of 'grounding'; my old equivalent model demonstrated 'intermittant' start-up, and I had a complaint of being 'shocked' (some) by a user. Cause: the Shunt Capacitor on the motor (mounted horizontally in the housing on the motor) had it's electrolyte (kind of like a old zinc-carbon battery) run out of the end of it, and thus causing both issues. Replacement values need not be critically the same as the bad Cap , except that the 'working voltage' need be double of your actual line voltage. Newer ones are better made, and a bit smaller.
Those big capacitors can be dangerous
Yes- lack of proper grounding can become an issue in shops with multiple machines. IF a 'hot' shorts to a chassis of an ungrounded device, then that device (or electric hand tool) becomes a marked hazard around other devices, when the user touches both. When 220ACV is in the mix, then the issue becomes almost instant death.
I prefer to address you as Tubalcain
Thanks for your dedication to the craft.
Brian

I have the little 109. Hmm, but mine has v-ways. It looks like it’s 6x13 between centers. 24” bed oal
Thank You again Lyle....My South Bend 10k gap bed bench with taper attachment I bought new..They did not offer hardened bed ways because of the gap bed feature (darn)...BUT I LOVE OLD AMERICAN IRON, now I am old !!!!!...MR PETE 4 PRESIDENT...Jeff
Thanks for the video sir very informative I’ve been wondering just who made the lathe I bought to restore the other day
Hello, I have a Dunlap version of this craftsman model 109.0702. I'm missing a few gears. Would you know of a place I could get new/used gear set and the paper work for it.... other then that mine is in good shape and runs well... Just wish I could use the screw drive... Thanks...
eBay is probably your only hope
Mr P..... if you have a moment, could you please tell me if the Atlas 10-f manual would be the same or useful with a 10D model. I recently picked up what I believe is a 10D and I'm stoked to kick off this restoration. Looked hard but I was unable to locate any manual labeled specifically for the 10D.... You are the man. Thanks for all you've taught all of us.
Wish i could get my hands on that little 109 lathe with all those gears i have always wanted 1 of those
Yes
7:30 either thats NOT 109.20630 or the model number on mine is wrong. Mine doesnt look anything like that
Good show, Mr. Pete. Nice Job. BTW, I don't know if you are aware of it, but the Dunlop 109 lathe made by AA, used Atlas 6" lathe change gears, they are interchangeable, even the change gear bushings, etc. That is a source for replacement gears. Thanks for this & your other work... ..............Dick
Did not they were interchangable
I like this little lathe. I wish I could find the type of auctions you go to !
There are a lot of them out there
Enjoyed listening. Not a beginner but still interesting history.
Hey Mr. Pete, You have really taught me a lot over the years and it is so appreciated! I acquired a model 101 lathe a few years ago from a family member and just love this machine for what it is. You said you bought the lathe for video making purposes, and I am curious if you would want to part out any of it? Like the tool post wedge? Thanks for everything!!
Sorry, I sold that little beauty last year. Part of my downsizing
@@mrpete222 thank you for the reply! and thank you for being YOU!
I can't seem to get my fingers on a good deal for a 618. Want one to replace my less useful Unimat which is worth more!
thanks as always Mr Pete! a video on evaluating southbends would be awesome
Mr. Pete, many thanks for all your wonderful instructional material!
Question sir: I purchased a 10" Atlas with a V-Belt drive last fall. My spindle still turns when released from the counter-shaft. I've tried adjusting the counter-shaft/spindle belt tension with no success. Any suggestions you might offer? I am retired but still have a lot to learn so I've signed up for Introduction To Mechanical Tool Technology at a local Junior College this spring.
Thanks again & Happy New Year!
Is the bull pin engaged? Not sure of your question??
Many thanks Mr.Pete. You're a wonderful educator but for someone as green as me, I really need to wait for my class to start. It's currently my understanding that on belt drive lathes like mine, the spindle is started and stopped with the power switch rather than the lever/clutch I'm accustomed to. My class starts in just over a week.
Patience Grasshopper & Reach For The Stars!
Yes--use the switch. Good luck with the nite class
I think you did a great job on this video. I think its even better then the video I did a few months ago on "How to Buy a lathe " LOL
Thank for doing the video.
Thanks--yours was mighty good too
Wish i could get my hands on one of these old craftsman lathes i live here in florida and they dont have these types of auctions down here
Mr. Stewart keeps saying model 101., but with Sears Co. the prefix (101) is the department in the department store. The rest of the number is the the actual model number. Ron W4BIN
Is the motor mounted on a heavy door hinge. You could use your conversion, like the 12" Atlas, to ad a motor to drive the carriage.
Hey, here's a thought. couldn't you replace those weird alloy gears with modern steel gears? Like couldn't you make your own by making molds of the gears that you have and then send the molds with all the specs on it to a gear manufacturing plant or simply make the gears yourself out of the type of steel used for gear making?
..for gears.....That would be Martin Sprocket.......not only do they sell all sorts of sprockets and gears....they will do almost any sort of machining on them for you. my last job I was a maintenance mechanic....but my employer had no machinery except an old Chinese bench top drill press....I got a lot of stuff (even 60-70 year old, which most of it was) running by going to Martin....it was convenient....just a mile away, and 2 right turns....
nylon would be better and not so noisy
13:38 I’ve used that laugh many times before buying used equipment.

Hello MrPete222 I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make all the videos that you do and have. I recently aquired a 10F TH48 Atlas lathe. It was given to me from a friend, unfortunately the has been neglected and not used for along time. It has set out in a old barn so it has rusted up some and very dirty, anyway I will soon start the process of taking it apart, cleaning and refurbishing the lathe. I have started to watch your videos on Atlas/craftsman lathes and found them very informative and helpful on how a Lathe actually works also how to start using one when the time comes. I was wondering how I could go about getting a copy of your Atlas Lathe course you mentioned in this video? I would like to watch it from start to finish. I also ordered a few books from ebay that you talk about on using and running a late. Thank you again and I hope that you see my comments and questions.
Hello, good luck with that machine. Thank you for watching and thank you for your interest. Watch the following video for all of the information you might need regarding my video courses search RUclips for this title.

Thank you for the great content. I'm considering purchasing an Atlas 3950 and would love your thoughts on the 3950 compared to the 618 or 101.
I am not familiar with that number
There is a Yahoo group for Atlas\Craftsman lathes with all kinds of uploaded manuals and material.
Thank you for info. Thank you for share things to look for. I appreciate your advice. Thank you
I like Keith Ruckers channel a lot. After I watched all of yours I had to go channel shopping.
Real nice, Why not keep it to yourself? What is the point of saying that? This dude goes through the trouble of sharing something that can't be bought and you gotta rip on him. I bet if you came to my beer circle we could bounce you around like a volley ball but hey we're not a bunch of jerks.
Must be some miscommunication here, mrpete and Rucker are friends and Lyle mentions for us to watch Rucker all the time, I was just letting Lyle know that I watch Keith, just like we were told. What are you talking about?
Sounded like you were dissatisfied with his videos and had to look elsewhere. Sorry.
Mrpete is by far my favorite RUclips channel, I've watched all of his videos, most of them more than once! Because of him I saved up and bought an atlas lathe and actually know how to use it. If I had to find something I'm dissatisfied about him, it would be that he doesn't put out a new video everyday and the ones he does put out are not long enough.
THANK YOU very much!!!!!!
I have one of those small 3 jaw chucks that fit the 6" lathe. Interested in it? I don't use or need it. I live in CT.
Hi my dad has an old atlas lathe in the basement and I need a part for it but I can’t identify it.
Hi, with this excellent guidance I just purchased an Atlas 9 inch lathe. I assume the Atlas book "Lathe operation and Machinists Tables" you highlight applies to this lathe as well? And is it necessary to get the South Bend book too?
any thoughts on doing a video on setting up and getting the first cuts under ones belt? like the importance of secure mounting on rigidity and safety? cutter setup and ECT. i try and watch every video but am sure i missed a couple over years
Those are good ideas for a vid
I believe so, as thats the exact same spot I find myself in, and tinkering to find out why I'm having such troubles,, I'm finding that what I'm doing here at home is nothing like I learned at school 30 some years ago
a series like this on mills would be handy to thanks as alwas
Good Video Pete, have a near perfect 618, Very good lathe.
👍👍
Mr Pete ! At 21:30, how would you go about doing the repair to fix the improper job done by the hammer-and-chisel mechanic? Great teaching as always. Still lookin' to buy an apartment friendly lathe myself, but these are the best! "How it works" and your "tips" are the best. You shoulda run for president, a real true blooded American! Not those two jokers we got to pick between
A multi part vid on making a new compound coming soon
Have you uploaded scans of those catalogs to vintage Machines? I bet those would be popular.
it's too bad you're not keeping it. Quite a few of us have lathes this size, since our workshop space dictates the size of machines we can own. I have the slightly newer version of this lathe, the 101. 24100/ Atlas 618 with the Timken bearings and the 1" /10 thread spindle. Nice but little.
I'm trying to find more information about a Craftsman 101.28910 . I see in different videos its also called a Atlas 618. I am interested in selling it for my mother-in-law. Can you steer me in the right direction for some pricing ideas. I believe its a 6" by 36. Any help would be very appreciated.
At the moment there is a wonderful selection of Atlas manuals, both original and reprint on eBay.
I will check it out

Not sure if you still have your Atlas lathe.

I have two 12" Atlas Craftsman lathes in very good working condition and a good bit of tooling to go with them. I have a buyer interested in both of them. Can you tell me how I might assess a fair value of them. Bot are 12x36 with quick change gear box.
That is a very tough call. I would say they are worth between 1000 and 1500 each depending on condition and accessories. I would recommend that you search eBay completed auctions to see what they are selling for.
Thanks for your response. I have seen a couple listed, but not sold. They seem to run $2k and one at $6K. Kind of all over the board. These are the 101.28990 machines under the cabinet motors. Again - thanks for your response.
always a pleasure to watch... Thanks for sharing sir....
Another great video as expected. Keep on keeping on.
Question: I'm afraid the bronze bushings on my Craftsman 101.07301 are bad. Do you have any tips on removing and replace the bushings? Thank you! I've watched every video in this series and it was so helpful.
