    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

      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....

    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.

    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.

    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

    • @PeterWMeek
      @PeterWMeek 8 лет назад +2

      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.

    • @dalemcinnes1834
      @dalemcinnes1834 5 лет назад +1

      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.

    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. ??

    @deafdeadfishfloating 6 лет назад

    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.

    • @deafdeadfishfloating
      @deafdeadfishfloating 6 лет назад +1

      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.

    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.

    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?

    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.
