@@mrpete222 i get your notifications most of the time these days. Then again i search you a lot. When i come across an apprentice that needs some sharpening, i send them links for your shop tips vids. You usually have something appropriate for the situation. Maybe thats why i get the notifications.
Mr. Pete, I vote for a full restoration. This is the sort of lathe that many beginners might acquire. They need to know the amount of work it will take to do a similar restoration and an idea of how to proceed with the restoration itself. You've already pointed out some things to look for in a pre-purchase exam. You might carry that a bit farther when doing the restoration. I think you have a dandy project that most people who have the desire to purchase such a lathe could follow through, given your guidance. Please go forward with this!
I was so sorry to hear you say your heart wasn’t in a restoration. I so thorough enjoy watching you bring old machinery back to life. If you change your mind - I will watch.
@@mrpete222 no WONDER you were cancelled! 🤣 Might want to edit your six... Thanks for all the videos, and I'd not only like to see the restoration, I'd love to have a machine that size.

This is like my first lathe purchased when I was 12 but not on a bench. Sold to me by a neighbor for $10 who worked for GE and it was his first lathe. Used a old washing machine motor to power it. That was 70 years ago. It's contagious. I now have three modern lathes in my basement machine shop. The small Atlas/Craftsman was responsible for a lifetime of enjoyable machine shop experiences although not my career path. I share your passion.
Put another vote for restoring this lathe. I too had a Craftsman 6" lathe that I restored. I traded for Chinese mini-lathe a 7X10 Harbor Freight. I added a 16" bed from Little Machine Shop. I mainly made the switch because Craftsman didn't have many access. with it and I had trouble finding them. The Chinese mini-lathe had a abundance tooling with it and for it. I mostly use it for model trains. Now that the lathe is done my new project is a Chinese mini-mill. Keep up the videos I've learned so much from you. I thank you for all the good times I had watching them. May God richly bless You.
I purchased a Craftsman model of the Atlas about a year ago, it is in pretty good shape. I'm glad to see you have already restored yours, and look forward to the series. Thanks for all your knowledge and work on these machines. My Dad was a tool and die maker, I am not, but I cherish what I have of his tools, and hope to use the lathe on some projects!
Your videos and a few others were definitely a catalyst in my restoring and using my 12 inch Atlas Craftsman and my 1939 11 in. South Bend lathe and a nice little mill. Much of the enjoyment was hunting down parts and fabricating things I needed to make them complete and accurate. My 1939 South Bend was such a project every night which took over 160 hours to complete affectionately became known as "My Mistress" to my wife and I. I've used them for many projects for myself and many friends. Being a heavy equipment mechanic and welder for over 40 years got me to rename my boat in 2012 when I retired to "DoneWrenching" with a caricature picture of me in my work clothes throwing an open tool box of tools in the lake. This year for my birthday my wife had a great picture of our boat name and character painted on a t-shirt except she had the words in big letters NEVER added to the top of it because never does a day go by that I or any retired mechanic is ever DoneWrenching and gladly helping someone. Great videos! Keep them coming, I'm sure they are encouraging many young people along with many of us old timers. Thank you, Ed K. N.E. Oh. Life member of IUOE Local 18
Please do more with the Atlas and the Unimat. My son and I have both but would no doubt benefit from your experience and guidance. Very enjoyable and entertaining! Thanks for your efforts.
You should most certainly pursue both the unimaginable and this project. There is an audience for everything you restore, no matter how large or small. I believe if you’ve helped or entertained anyone, 1 or 100,000, you’ve achieved the goal. Popularity is for the birds
Great video Mr Pete. I would like to see you restore the lathe. So that I could see how it is done. Not a full restoration, but just enough to make some nice projects.

Great lathe ! I bought mine new 53 years ago and it still works fine. I'm glad I got the milling attachment and several other accessories at the same time. Thanks for your RUclips postings.
By all means YES! Do restore it! I have one of those as do many other viewers. Mine is from roughly 1934, has Babbitt bearings, original motor, original remote switch and cable. I have one, maybe two sets of change gears for mine. It is still fully functional. I am of the opinion that it has not been restored in the past. I've had it for 30 years and I've done nothing but maintain and use it since it was given to me after it sat in a friend's basement for about 15 years after it was given to him. LOL Evapo-Rust is a miracle save all fluid!
Here is the key question: Mr. Pete, what would make you happy? Idea: Get someone to help get your power draw bar installed on your mill. What I would like to see: I love your project videos as I learn a lot, as I follow along and do the project. My favorite so far is the float lock vice. I am also am a sucker for "What is it" as I now know a lot more about mystery tools I own. I also watch all the auctions, even though you can't hear me tell you to stop and go back because I spotted something, and the auctioneer never hears my bids. You already have extensive lathe videos, and I have cleaned up enough dirty, rusty tools and equipment (Simple Green, Evaporust, Electrolysis only on heavy rust); I would watch the lathe restoration because I would no doubt learn something.
Mr. Pete, I like the idea of you showing us how your going to get this lathe up and running. Yes, show us a project on this lathe. A lot of small hobbies use these small lathes. Always a pleasure watching your videos.
I have already made six other videos on this machine. They will be released one at a time over the next six weeks. Make sure you search for the word Tubalcain if you want to see them I am being shadow banned by yt, you will not be notified

I've had my Craftsman/Atlas lathe since 1995. It was my wife's grandfathers and used at his home from time of purchase in 1938/39 time period.. Mine is still original and I have no thoughts of doing any restorations to it. It's in great shape, so no need to go and take it apart. I have the second gear set and recently purchased some more modern tools and bits.. Love it and will keep it forever. I have many uses for it including running a adaptor that sizes pistol cases.
Love to see you complete a project or two on the little unimat - I have one that I have restored but not used since. It will give me inspiration to give the machine some work. Cheers
Anything that you repair, create or build using the tools on hand is worth watching. Never have I turn away from watching your great skills, we are the same age and even screwing in a light bulb is a challenge for me.
This will be a great series to watch. Thanks for all your content. I been watching this channel for years and your videos just keep getting better in my opinion. Because of you I picked up my third lathe last night and have two Atlas shapers. 🙂I know you stay busy but if you ever get some time I would LOVE to see some more videos using your horizontal mill. Thanks again, have a great Labor Day. JMB
The ways on my Atlas 12 inch are worn and I turn tapers after fixing everything I could. No shops around here will grind or plane it. Other folks probably have the same problem. Could you do a video on how to approach such a problem.
I got one of these about a year ago and already cleaned it up and almost ready to start using. I look forward to watching your videos to see if I did it right. . .

My first lathe was given to me by my grandfather about 60 years ago. It was a craftsman, but the instructions were labelled Atlas. It came with a full set of gears. But many of the gears the bore was not centred, making noisey meshes. The spindle was too small and bent easily. I made a larger spindle that was much stiffer. The head stock used bronze bushings with the front being split and tapered. The compound had RH threads that were confusing, and no marked dials. I replaced the screw with LH thread and a new nut without the slop. I used a Sherline handle with the graduations. I gave the lathe to my brother when I got my 14x40.
Well, it sure looks worthwhile taking the time to restore it. I'm not a machinist, but I love your videos and I'd enjoy watching you restore and use this lath in future videos. 👍
Sign me up for the steam engine series. I'm always also on board for lathe restorations. I've taken two scraping classes with Richard King, and when I have more time for playing in my own shop I plan on getting serious with it as a hobby. The rust on those ways is killing me - use WD40 as a solvent and hit them with green Scotch Brite but don't get too aggressive with it. Please, no sandpaper on ways.
Absolutely MORE Unimat. # unimat . Tag. Are the most viewed videos I have also atlas and tool sales. I'm small time. I hope you continue unimat series, I was hoping to build on my unimat, a build "along" with Mr. Pete. Winter is coming, Unimats are in cozy places😂

Thank you for taking the time to post this video - would look forward to seeing videos as you restore this lathe but that decision is up to you. The compound slide may or may not be homemade - if you ordered a replacement part from Clausing Service Center as I did back in the early 1990's that is how the replacement one would look - it is different to what would have been on the machine originally. My dad bought his 6" Craftsman new around 1962 and sometimes used it for starter and generator repair - he purchased the tailstock bushing attachment to hold the shafts that did not have centering holes. He did not purchase the Mica undercutter attachment however. He broke the compound slide at one point and rather than purchasing a new one he bronzed the two cast pieces back together. The motor pulley that come with the lathe had a 5/8" center whereas most appliance motors from washing machines, etc. only had a 1/2" diameter shaft so he simply used a 1 groove pulley that came with the appliance and a slightly longer belt on his when he used the lathe. Eventually the bull gear and back gear teeth broke so he stopped using it much as there was a neighborhood chap who had a bigger lathe and did beautiful machine work inexpensively. In the early 1990's I decided to try and bring the lathe back to life and purchased the majority of repair parts from Clausing - compound slide, new gibs, new back gear and bull gear (now made of steel rather than zamac) and some other parts. Purchase a new electric motor with the correct 5/8" diameter shaft so I could use the original pulley. I also purchased the milling attachment for the 6" lathe as well as the spindle attachment and drawbar wheel to hold the milling cutters (1/4" - 1/2" adaptors) - had to make the drawbar (3/8" round stock threaded at one end) - that was around 1997 and they cost about $600.00 Canadian at that time. The milling attachment is handy for creating keyseats in shafts up to about 1" diameter and also for small facing jobs. I still use the lathe and as recently as three years ago was still able to order parts from Clausing as I purchased a new lead screw - the one on the lathe had a spot on the threads about 1" wide that was worn. At that time Clausing had done a price adjustment and actually lowered the prices on some of the repair parts for the 6" Atlas / Craftsman series such as the lead screw. Last fall I started to cut enough gears to make two threading and two feed turning gearsets that Clausing offered for sale back in the early 1990's so changing the thread cutting and turning speeds is a bit quicker and easier - made a smaller version of the gear cutting attachment you showed a year or so ago and I also used a small DC geared motor to create a power feed for the cross slide which made cutting the gears so much easier. Got all the gears cut and when I get time this fall hope to complete making the gearsets. The nice thing about the Atlas and Craftsman 6" metal lathes is that they are still fairly plentiful and most parts are available for them from Clausing and other suppliers if you have deep enough pockets - I pick and choose what I buy versus what I can make using the lathe. I priced the four gearsets from Clausing and they still can supply them but at the US/Can dollar exchange rate I chose to make mine and cut the gears out of 3/8" flat steel blanks I turned. The 3" Unimat lathe is a nice lathe but in my opinion too small for a lot of jobs that I can do using the 6" Atlas which also has its limitations but for my workshop space and usage I will probably stick with the 6" Atlas / Crafstman. Thanks for all your videos.

For the Unimat... a project like the small steam engine would be good to show the capabilities (and limitations) of a small lathe. I personally like these rebuild projects because it documents the good and bad of buying and bringing back to life an older unit. With the exception of my drill press all my machines were bought used and only one was actually "plug-n-play" ready. Thanks for all the stuff on your channel... I'm still going through all your stirling and steam stuff as well as catching up on everything else you've put on your channel before I subscribed.
Very much looking forward to the restoration videos of this little guy, I have one at home myself. Love to see you do some work on a benchtop surface grinder. Had a Sanford but had to sell. GL sir, still out here watching, liking and commenting!
I would like to see the lathe brought back from the dead! I have made a fair amount of your projects so if you did the unimat project I would probably follow along! Thanks Mr.Pete have a great 3 day weekend !
I have watched at least a dozen restoration lathe videos and am always ready for more. I work on small model railroad engines and wish I had a small lathe every time I start to work on one.
Please forgive me I find you amusing generous and interesting I laughed hard as you pulled another puller from the cabinet reminded me of Jonathan Winters pulling walnuts from his Christmas stocking thank you
This is a Nice little machine, it's vintage makes it a practical and affordable machine for a home shop beginner. It might be a good idea to spiff it up a little and do a few simple projects.
I would like to see the lathe restored to a point to be usable, not necessarily like new. I think there would be more interest than with the Unimat because there are a lot of these lathes around and they are more capable for the home enthusiast. At any rate, keep up the good work, I enjoy it.
I bought the later, even crappier version of this lathe, in the 1970s, I think. I’d have to look as I’ve still got the sales receipt. My first lathe was the Unimat 3, the actual 3 version. I still have that along with a lot of accessories including the mill/drill accessory. It’s a beautiful miniature version of a regular lathe, painted an epoxy white. But the motor on the Unimat is really just a very high quality sewing machine motor with little power. The Atlas has a 1/3 Hp motor I bought for it. Again, I still have that, plus a fair number of accessories. When I used the South Bend 10” Heavy L in machine shop class during high school, which was an elective, I knew that’s what I wanted. In 1983, I went to an auction I decided I should go to for my company (we were a commercial film lab), I saw they had their own machine shop, and in it was the South Bend 10” Heavy, which I won for $375. It came with a lot of stuff. Anyway, I don’t think you want to read even more (hmm, that sounds like you), so I’ll just say that I still have it though I’ve been using a South Bend FOURTEEN I bought in 2002.
Ok. I’ll start looking. Thank you for making them. I hope you get back on. I would like to hear more of your stories. I enjoyed the one you talked about where your brother made a gun.
Another vote for bringing the Atlas back to life. Would also enjoy seeing that little engine being made. I guess I just enjoy all your videos, from projects, to restorations, to your stories.
I would watch the steam engine series. I enjoy all your videos, but especially the ones where you are making things, even if they seem repetitive I almost always learn something.
I would like to see the atlas restored to it's glory. I love the older equipment and my shop is FULL of older stuff. My Ohio shaper is converted from overhead line shaft power to electric motor driving a transmission with flat belt down to input drive of the shaper. Keep up the great work.

Hi Mr. Pete! Please do continue with the Atlas 618 restoration. I always wanted a lathe and to learn machining. I have one of these lathes. It used to belong to my stepdaughter's late grandfather. It is mounted to a cabinet stenciled US Army Air Corps and came with a good bit of tooling. When I showed it to my brother in law, who is a pro machinist, he said Oh yeah! That's what we learned on in shop class.
Despite initial impressions, your cursory examination is showing the lathe to be full of promise. It deserves to come back to life and you're the man who can do it justice.
Yes, Mr Pete, please do the video series on this lathe...i watched the videos series on the bigger Atlas Lathes you have and I got this very same lathe here definitely like more tips on restoration 😊❤
Very much looking forward to this series as I just acquired one of these lathes but know nothing about how to use it. Mine is in pretty good shape but I plan tear it down and give it a good cleaning, using these videos as a guide.
I would love to see the project being completed. Also, please continue with the teardown as my Craftsman needs some minor work, especially the tailstock. Thanks for everything!
good morning Mr. Pete. I acquired a Unimat lathe with many accessories, about a month or two before you started your series on your Unimat . I followed all your videos and have been looking for more videos on that little machine. I would like more how to projects or steam engine tutorials. I enjoy all of the material that you put on your channel. Thanks Tom
I have a 12 inch craftsman lathe. I love it. I got it just when you did your series on them. This is how I found you and have been watching ever since. please save that old lathe. I will watch every video!!!

YES! Please do a restoration, I have a 1949 Craftsman Atlas 618 in reasonably good shape, A restoration on yours might reveal some tips and tricks we could use on ours.
Wow, nice, I had a sears/atlas that size with all the gears and a mill attachment, but only a 4 jaw chuck was kind of small for farm use. Sold it to finance a mill with ball lead screws - no slop!. Still have a U5 Foster turret lathe. I wish i had an engine lathe to thread with. Great vid, thanks.

Love for you to restore this Atlas, since I have the same lathe in my basement. It was given to me by my late father. It’s not in perfect condition, but I’ve used it before to make small parts for the farm.
Hi Mr Pete. Just letting you know that the Unimat community is a very small community, but we all got really excited when you started your series on the Unimat SL lathe! I would love to see more content on the Unimat lathe!
I also would love to see a refurb on the atlas lathe. I have an atlas craftsman 12”x24 from 1939. It’s waiting for me to get my shop set up since we moved 4 years ago. And besides the move, two new hips and two new knees. I’m back in business and replacing my beck yard stockade fence. After that I need to run power upgrade to my out building(14’x36’ steel building)I need to get 220 out there to run my compressor and Delta Unisaw(1962 vintage). I love your videos and your rants very much. Your video series on the atlas craftsman was outstanding. Best Regards, John
Thank you very much for watching. Yes, finish your shop as soon as possible, sounds like you are the bionic man, lol. My daughter-in-law just had a hip replacement eight days ago.
Could you show us why you think the compound isn't the original? maybe you are seeing some machining marks that we can't. I have the newer style 630 (same as the 618 only longer and the head stock is shaped different) and my compound looks exactly like the one on your lathe. Also if you have issue's with the gibs on the compound you can get metal gibs instead of the delrin gibs that came with most of these lathes and it helps stiffen these little lathes up since they are inherently weak at that point. Buying chucks and face plates for these little lathes you have to make sure of the thread on them, there where two different thread pitch types on the mounting. My little lathe is in storage and I haven't used it in years since I got a different lathe but I do remember that being an issue when I was trying to find a three jaw in better shape than mine was.
I also made a center rest for mine, it was one of the first projects I made with the lathe and it was a LOT of work especially since I didn't have a milling machine at the time, yes I broke a couple of safety rules making it but to this day it is still one of my funnest and most trying projects to make.
Hobbys today are nil. So many Hobby Shops are now closed and those that are open, do not have much inventory. This is especially true in my area. The unimat has been around for a long time and for a hobbyist, they are great for small items. I personally do not want one because my hobby now is my car restroration. What the Unimat can do is not what I need. I would honestly like to acquire a ten or twelve in lathe as my 6" Atlas just does not have a large enough swing nor length for some potential projects. For now, it is all I can afford and I have made many upgrades and have purchased what I need to get a better finish. It is slow due to the manual crossfeed. I look on a couple different sites that cover local auctions and for sale items and a South Bend or something similar I have never seen. My area lost tons of production when Borg Warner left. There used to be some foundry work locally and that is gone. The EPA did not help. Caterpillar is another company that has downsized in my area and now is mainly a warehouse. You would think that I live in an area rich with machinery but not much for sale. So, bottom line, I am not interested in a Unimat. Sorry to be so winded. A reversing switch is a waste because the spindle is threaded and the chuck can come loose in reverse. Zip codes were instituted July 1, 1963.
You are right very few people have a hobby other than dope and tattoos. I need to start making great videos about body tattoos. I’m sure I would have millions of viewers but most of them would be stoned.
@@mrpete222 Tattoos, never understood why someone wants to have something that may prove to be a mistake later in life. I think that the internet via the phone has ruined peoples drive to learn things first hand and we have a cesspool of non doing individuals.
Mr. Pete.... IF it were me I would tear this machine down completely and restore it. First, it appears to be in remarkable mechanical condition. I saw very little wear and no signs of abuse. Second, this was a very popular lathe and plenty of accessories can be found (maybe even some cheap). Third (and I commented on this before), this lathe, when restored, would be a great candidate for an ELS (electronic lead screw). This attachment, simply put, eliminates the need for change gears OR a quick change gear box. Using a stepper motor and rotary encoder, a small "computer" with display will allow you to change both the rate and direction of the longitudinal feed WHILE THE LATHE IS RUNNING. I realize that borders on heresy for us OLD GUYS but the cost I understand is around $250. This little lathe could well be a very precision machine for small work such as making hardware and model steam engine kits. All depends, to me, on the time you would be willing to do it. I know your time is precious so maybe this would just be a pipe dream!

Hi Mr Pete. I would love to see you make a steam engine on the Unimat lathe. Also, restoring the Atlas would be worth the effort and sure to draw in many viewers. I hope you get a Sherline lathe and see what you do with it. I had mine since 2007. I just upgraded my Sherline CNC mill with a larger base to handle bigger jobs. Looking forward to seeing what you decide to do. Thanks!!!
Hello Mrpete would really like to see you do the steam engine series. Very thorough video on this Atlas lathe, needs some work on it but your the man for the job.
I watch everything you do Mr. Pete, but I will admit I'd be more interested in the this Atlas lathe restore and projects on that machine. As a hobbyist that machine is more like the one I use. Thank you for all of your hard work on these videos. I appreciate it very much. Be well.

This is like my first lathe purchased when I was 12 but not on a bench. Sold to me by a neighbor for $10 who worked for GE and it was his first lathe. Used a old washing machine motor to power it. That was 70 years ago. It's contagious. I now have three modern lathes in my basement machine shop. The small Atlas/Craftsman was responsible for a lifetime of enjoyable machine shop experiences although not my career path. I share your passion.
👍👍👍👍
Put another vote for restoring this lathe. I too had a Craftsman 6" lathe that I restored. I traded for Chinese mini-lathe a 7X10 Harbor Freight. I added a 16" bed from Little Machine Shop. I mainly made the switch because Craftsman didn't have many access. with it and I had trouble finding them. The Chinese mini-lathe had a abundance tooling with it and for it.
I mostly use it for model trains. Now that the lathe is done my new project is a Chinese mini-mill. Keep up the videos I've learned so much from you. I thank you for all the good times I had watching them. May God richly bless You.

Good morning Mr Pete. I vote for the steam engine project!! I love watching you build anything!!

Glad to see you're restoring this lathe. Thanks, Mr Pete!
Your videos and a few others were definitely a catalyst in my restoring and using my 12 inch Atlas Craftsman and my 1939 11 in. South Bend lathe and a nice little mill. Much of the enjoyment was hunting down parts and fabricating things I needed to make them complete and accurate. My 1939 South Bend was such a project every night which took over 160 hours to complete affectionately became known as "My Mistress" to my wife and I. I've used them for many projects for myself and many friends. Being a heavy equipment mechanic and welder for over 40 years got me to rename my boat in 2012 when I retired to "DoneWrenching" with a caricature picture of me in my work clothes throwing an open tool box of tools in the lake. This year for my birthday my wife had a great picture of our boat name and character painted on a t-shirt except she had the words in big letters NEVER added to the top of it because never does a day go by that I or any retired mechanic is ever DoneWrenching and gladly helping someone. Great videos! Keep them coming, I'm sure they are encouraging many young people along with many of us old timers. Thank you, Ed K. N.E. Oh. Life member of IUOE Local 18
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Please do more with the Atlas and the Unimat. My son and I have both but would no doubt benefit from your experience and guidance.
Very enjoyable and entertaining!
Thanks for your efforts.
You should most certainly pursue both the unimaginable and this project. There is an audience for everything you restore, no matter how large or small. I believe if you’ve helped or entertained anyone, 1 or 100,000, you’ve achieved the goal. Popularity is for the birds
Thank you very much
Great video Mr Pete. I would like to see you restore the lathe. So that I could see how it is done. Not a full restoration, but just enough to make some nice projects.
I have already restored the atlas and a six video series to be released over the next month in order to watch my videos. You must search weekly using the word tubalcain
Great lathe ! I bought mine new 53 years ago and it still works fine. I'm glad I got the milling attachment and several other accessories at the same time. Thanks for your RUclips postings.
By all means YES! Do restore it! I have one of those as do many other viewers. Mine is from roughly 1934, has Babbitt bearings, original motor, original remote switch and cable. I have one, maybe two sets of change gears for mine. It is still fully functional. I am of the opinion that it has not been restored in the past. I've had it for 30 years and I've done nothing but maintain and use it since it was given to me after it sat in a friend's basement for about 15 years after it was given to him. LOL Evapo-Rust is a miracle save all fluid!
👍👍👍
Here is the key question:
Mr. Pete, what would make you happy?
Idea: Get someone to help get your power draw bar installed on your mill.
What I would like to see:
I love your project videos as I learn a lot, as I follow along and do the project. My favorite so far is the float lock vice. I am also am a sucker for "What is it" as I now know a lot more about mystery tools I own. I also watch all the auctions, even though you can't hear me tell you to stop and go back because I spotted something, and the auctioneer never hears my bids. You already have extensive lathe videos, and I have cleaned up enough dirty, rusty tools and equipment (Simple Green, Evaporust, Electrolysis only on heavy rust); I would watch the lathe restoration because I would no doubt learn something.
👍👍👍👍👍
Got the same one, but Craftsman from my Grandfather to restore. Glad I found your site.😀
Welcome aboard!
Yes on the steam engine! Yes on the restoration of the lathe thank you for your efforts.
😁
Yes I would love to see you clean up that lathe! Thanks
Mr. Pete, I like the idea of you showing us how your going to get this lathe up and running. Yes, show us a project on this lathe. A lot of small hobbies use these small lathes. Always a pleasure watching your videos.
I have already made six other videos on this machine. They will be released one at a time over the next six weeks. Make sure you search for the word Tubalcain if you want to see them I am being shadow banned by yt, you will not be notified
Always liked your steam engine videos, would love to see more. When you post videos, I watch them all and enjoy them. Great channel.
👍👍
Mr. Pete, I second the Notion of doing the project on the Unimat Lathe, and also for restoring the Atlas Lathe. If it makes you Happy, it will make us Happy!
I have restored the Atlas in six videos already filmed. They will be released over the next month. Search weekly for Tubalcain. They will not be promoted by YT as I have been canceled.
I've had my Craftsman/Atlas lathe since 1995. It was my wife's grandfathers and used at his home from time of purchase in 1938/39 time period.. Mine is still original and I have no thoughts of doing any restorations to it. It's in great shape, so no need to go and take it apart. I have the second gear set and recently purchased some more modern tools and bits..
Love it and will keep it forever. I have many uses for it including running a adaptor that sizes pistol cases.
Never repair something that does not need fixing
@@mrpete222 You got that right!
Love to see you complete a project or two on the little unimat - I have one that I have restored but not used since. It will give me inspiration to give the machine some work. Cheers
Yes, Unimat project. Here in Canada, Unimat lathes sell fast. I guess those guys have not found your channel yet...🙂 Great video.
Anything that you repair, create or build using the tools on hand is worth watching. Never have I turn away from watching your great skills, we are the same age and even screwing in a light bulb is a challenge for me.
👍👍👍👍👍
This will be a great series to watch. Thanks for all your content. I been watching this channel for years and your videos just keep getting better in my opinion. Because of you I picked up my third lathe last night and have two Atlas shapers. 🙂I know you stay busy but if you ever get some time I would LOVE to see some more videos using your horizontal mill. Thanks again, have a great Labor Day. JMB
👍👍😁
Thank you, Mr. Pete. Yes, restored her cleaning it up and built some more steam engines. Thank you, sir.
The ways on my Atlas 12 inch are worn and I turn tapers after fixing everything I could. No shops around here will grind or plane it.
Other folks probably have the same problem. Could you do a video on how to approach such a problem.
Yes please Pete to both a restoration of the Atlas and the Unimat project 👍.
I got one of these about a year ago and already cleaned it up and almost ready to start using. I look forward to watching your videos to see if I did it right. . .
I have already filmed a six video series on this machine to be aired in the next month. In order to watch my videos you must search every week using the word, Tubalcain. I have been canceled by this platform.
The steam engine series would be great! Also the clean up and use of the atlas 618 would be fantastic!
My first lathe was given to me by my grandfather about 60 years ago. It was a craftsman, but the instructions were labelled Atlas. It came with a full set of gears. But many of the gears the bore was not centred, making noisey meshes. The spindle was too small and bent easily. I made a larger spindle that was much stiffer. The head stock used bronze bushings with the front being split and tapered.
The compound had RH threads that were confusing, and no marked dials. I replaced the screw with LH thread and a new nut without the slop. I used a Sherline handle with the graduations.
I gave the lathe to my brother when I got my 14x40.
👍👍👍👍
Oh yes a series with the uni mat!
Well, it sure looks worthwhile taking the time to restore it. I'm not a machinist, but I love your videos and I'd enjoy watching you restore and use this lath in future videos. 👍
Thanks 👍
Sign me up for the steam engine series. I'm always also on board for lathe restorations. I've taken two scraping classes with Richard King, and when I have more time for playing in my own shop I plan on getting serious with it as a hobby. The rust on those ways is killing me - use WD40 as a solvent and hit them with green Scotch Brite but don't get too aggressive with it. Please, no sandpaper on ways.
look at Beyond Ballistics for a safe yet effective rust removal recipy, that he uses when restoring guns found in rusty and non-functioning state
I love all your videos but this is the kind of video I especially look forward to. ❤
Absolutely MORE Unimat. # unimat . Tag. Are the most viewed videos I have also atlas and tool sales. I'm small time. I hope you continue unimat series, I was hoping to build on my unimat, a build "along" with Mr. Pete. Winter is coming, Unimats are in cozy places😂
😁😁
I would like to see it back to its glory . As for the unimat that project looks like fun . Thanks mr pete !!

@@mrpete222 canceled thats crazy the world has gone mad .thanks pete I shure will search for them. was wondering why I was not getting notifications!!
Thank you for taking the time to post this video - would look forward to seeing videos as you restore this lathe but that decision is up to you. The compound slide may or may not be homemade - if you ordered a replacement part from Clausing Service Center as I did back in the early 1990's that is how the replacement one would look - it is different to what would have been on the machine originally. My dad bought his 6" Craftsman new around 1962 and sometimes used it for starter and generator repair - he purchased the tailstock bushing attachment to hold the shafts that did not have centering holes. He did not purchase the Mica undercutter attachment however. He broke the compound slide at one point and rather than purchasing a new one he bronzed the two cast pieces back together. The motor pulley that come with the lathe had a 5/8" center whereas most appliance motors from washing machines, etc. only had a 1/2" diameter shaft so he simply used a 1 groove pulley that came with the appliance and a slightly longer belt on his when he used the lathe. Eventually the bull gear and back gear teeth broke so he stopped using it much as there was a neighborhood chap who had a bigger lathe and did beautiful machine work inexpensively. In the early 1990's I decided to try and bring the lathe back to life and purchased the majority of repair parts from Clausing - compound slide, new gibs, new back gear and bull gear (now made of steel rather than zamac) and some other parts. Purchase a new electric motor with the correct 5/8" diameter shaft so I could use the original pulley. I also purchased the milling attachment for the 6" lathe as well as the spindle attachment and drawbar wheel to hold the milling cutters (1/4" - 1/2" adaptors) - had to make the drawbar (3/8" round stock threaded at one end) - that was around 1997 and they cost about $600.00 Canadian at that time. The milling attachment is handy for creating keyseats in shafts up to about 1" diameter and also for small facing jobs. I still use the lathe and as recently as three years ago was still able to order parts from Clausing as I purchased a new lead screw - the one on the lathe had a spot on the threads about 1" wide that was worn. At that time Clausing had done a price adjustment and actually lowered the prices on some of the repair parts for the 6" Atlas / Craftsman series such as the lead screw. Last fall I started to cut enough gears to make two threading and two feed turning gearsets that Clausing offered for sale back in the early 1990's so changing the thread cutting and turning speeds is a bit quicker and easier - made a smaller version of the gear cutting attachment you showed a year or so ago and I also used a small DC geared motor to create a power feed for the cross slide which made cutting the gears so much easier. Got all the gears cut and when I get time this fall hope to complete making the gearsets.
The nice thing about the Atlas and Craftsman 6" metal lathes is that they are still fairly plentiful and most parts are available for them from Clausing and other suppliers if you have deep enough pockets - I pick and choose what I buy versus what I can make using the lathe. I priced the four gearsets from Clausing and they still can supply them but at the US/Can dollar exchange rate I chose to make mine and cut the gears out of 3/8" flat steel blanks I turned.
The 3" Unimat lathe is a nice lathe but in my opinion too small for a lot of jobs that I can do using the 6" Atlas which also has its limitations but for my workshop space and usage I will probably stick with the 6" Atlas / Crafstman.
Thanks for all your videos.

For the Unimat... a project like the small steam engine would be good to show the capabilities (and limitations) of a small lathe. I personally like these rebuild projects because it documents the good and bad of buying and bringing back to life an older unit. With the exception of my drill press all my machines were bought used and only one was actually "plug-n-play" ready. Thanks for all the stuff on your channel... I'm still going through all your stirling and steam stuff as well as catching up on everything else you've put on your channel before I subscribed.
thank you👍👍
Very much looking forward to the restoration videos of this little guy, I have one at home myself. Love to see you do some work on a benchtop surface grinder. Had a Sanford but had to sell. GL sir, still out here watching, liking and commenting!
I would like to see the lathe brought back from the dead! I have made a fair amount of your projects so if you did the unimat project I would probably follow along! Thanks Mr.Pete have a great 3 day weekend !
👍👍👍
I have watched at least a dozen restoration lathe videos and am always ready for more. I work on small model railroad engines and wish I had a small lathe every time I start to work on one.
👍👍
Please forgive me I find you amusing generous and interesting I laughed hard as you pulled another puller from the cabinet reminded me of Jonathan Winters pulling walnuts from his Christmas stocking thank you
I always liked Jonathan Winters
This is a Nice little machine, it's vintage makes it a practical and affordable machine for a home shop beginner. It might be a good idea to spiff it up a little and do a few simple projects.
Mr. Pete, I watch everything you put out, because I know I will learn something I didn't know before. You choose the subject and I'll be there!
😁😁
I would like to see the lathe restored to a point to be usable, not necessarily like new. I think there would be more interest than with the Unimat because there are a lot of these lathes around and they are more capable for the home enthusiast. At any rate, keep up the good work, I enjoy it.
I bought the later, even crappier version of this lathe, in the 1970s, I think. I’d have to look as I’ve still got the sales receipt. My first lathe was the Unimat 3, the actual 3 version. I still have that along with a lot of accessories including the mill/drill accessory. It’s a beautiful miniature version of a regular lathe, painted an epoxy white. But the motor on the Unimat is really just a very high quality sewing machine motor with little power. The Atlas has a 1/3 Hp motor I bought for it. Again, I still have that, plus a fair number of accessories. When I used the South Bend 10” Heavy L in machine shop class during high school, which was an elective, I knew that’s what I wanted. In 1983, I went to an auction I decided I should go to for my company (we were a commercial film lab), I saw they had their own machine shop, and in it was the South Bend 10” Heavy, which I won for $375. It came with a lot of stuff. Anyway, I don’t think you want to read even more (hmm, that sounds like you), so I’ll just say that I still have it though I’ve been using a South Bend FOURTEEN I bought in 2002.
Love those South Bend machines
Ok. I’ll start looking. Thank you for making them. I hope you get back on. I would like to hear more of your stories. I enjoyed the one you talked about where your brother made a gun.
👍👍👍
I would enjoy a Unimat lathe project. Also, I would enjoy watching you restore the Atlas, please.
Another vote for bringing the Atlas back to life. Would also enjoy seeing that little engine being made. I guess I just enjoy all your videos, from projects, to restorations, to your stories.
😁👍
I would watch the steam engine series. I enjoy all your videos, but especially the ones where you are making things, even if they seem repetitive I almost always learn something.
Cool, thanks
Hand raised here for more of the Atlas! After making the rails look in such good shape, now ya gotta finish the job! 😉
Do it up! 👍👍
I would like to see the atlas restored to it's glory. I love the older equipment and my shop is FULL of older stuff. My Ohio shaper is converted from overhead line shaft power to electric motor driving a transmission with flat belt down to input drive of the shaper. Keep up the great work.

Hi Mr. Pete!
Please do continue with the Atlas 618 restoration. I always wanted a lathe and to learn machining. I have one of these lathes. It used to belong to my stepdaughter's late grandfather. It is mounted to a cabinet stenciled US Army Air Corps and came with a good bit of tooling. When I showed it to my brother in law, who is a pro machinist, he said Oh yeah! That's what we learned on in shop class.
👍👍👍
I would love to see a good basic clean up and a project produced on this lathe. I personally love this stuff, you do a great job.
Thanks
Despite initial impressions, your cursory examination is showing the lathe to be full of promise.
It deserves to come back to life and you're the man who can do it justice.
Yes, I have already done a minor restoration. And it’s all filmed in six videos to be released soon.
@mrpete222
Looking forward to it.
Yes, Mr Pete, please do the video series on this lathe...i watched the videos series on the bigger Atlas Lathes you have and I got this very same lathe here definitely like more tips on restoration 😊❤
Very much looking forward to this series as I just acquired one of these lathes but know nothing about how to use it. Mine is in pretty good shape but I plan tear it down and give it a good cleaning, using these videos as a guide.
👍👍
I would love to see the project being completed. Also, please continue with the teardown as my Craftsman needs some minor work, especially the tailstock. Thanks for everything!
Will do!
Thanks for sharing 👍 I'm up for a lathe restoration 😅
good morning Mr. Pete. I acquired a Unimat lathe with many accessories, about a month or two before you started your series on your Unimat . I followed all your videos and have been looking for more videos on that little machine. I would like more how to projects or steam engine tutorials. I enjoy all of the material that you put on your channel.
Thanks Tom
😁😁
I have a 12 inch craftsman lathe. I love it. I got it just when you did your series on them. This is how I found you and have been watching ever since. please save that old lathe. I will watch every video!!!
👍👍👍
I would love to see more on this lathe. Thanks for sharing!
You shall if you watch my six video series on the atlas to be released over the next month. In order to watch my videos you must search every week to find them using the word tubalcain
Mr. Pete, i would love to see the 6" lathe get restored and used, as i recently purchased one from Marketplace, and know little about it. Also, i would gladly watch a steam engine project with the Unimat... but, i watch ALL of your videos! And, thank you for making them!
👍👍👍
YES! Please do a restoration, I have a 1949 Craftsman Atlas 618 in reasonably good shape, A restoration on yours might reveal some tips and tricks we could use on ours.
It’s a nice little lathe. Thanks for sharing it
Wow, nice, I had a sears/atlas that size with all the gears and a mill attachment, but only a 4 jaw chuck was kind of small for farm use. Sold it to finance a mill with ball lead screws - no slop!. Still have a U5 Foster turret lathe. I wish i had an engine lathe to thread with. Great vid, thanks.
👍👍👍
Seeing what that little lathe is capable of would be interesting.
Very interesting. I have this lathe and would be watching all you do with it. Thanks
I also would really enjoy seeing you clean up and "restore" the Atlas 6" Lathe

Full restoration, please!
What matters is not the immediate views, but how helpful it will be to somebody, in 5, 10 or 15 years time.
I would definitely like to see this machine in use again
Love for you to restore this Atlas, since I have the same lathe in my basement. It was given to me by my late father. It’s not in perfect condition, but I’ve used it before to make small parts for the farm.
Hi Mr Pete. Just letting you know that the Unimat community is a very small community, but we all got really excited when you started your series on the Unimat SL lathe! I would love to see more content on the Unimat lathe!
👍👍👍
We love the "What is it " series!!!!!!
I also would love to see a refurb on the atlas lathe. I have an atlas craftsman 12”x24 from 1939. It’s waiting for me to get my shop set up since we moved 4 years ago. And besides the move, two new hips and two new knees. I’m back in business and replacing my beck yard stockade fence. After that I need to run power upgrade to my out building(14’x36’ steel
building)I need to get 220 out there to run my compressor and Delta Unisaw(1962 vintage). I love your videos and your rants very much. Your video series on the atlas craftsman was outstanding.
Best Regards,
John
Thank you very much for watching.
Yes, finish your shop as soon as possible, sounds like you are the bionic man, lol. My daughter-in-law just had a hip replacement eight days ago.
Could you show us why you think the compound isn't the original? maybe you are seeing some machining marks that we can't. I have the newer style 630 (same as the 618 only longer and the head stock is shaped different) and my compound looks exactly like the one on your lathe.
Also if you have issue's with the gibs on the compound you can get metal gibs instead of the delrin gibs that came with most of these lathes and it helps stiffen these little lathes up since they are inherently weak at that point.
Buying chucks and face plates for these little lathes you have to make sure of the thread on them, there where two different thread pitch types on the mounting. My little lathe is in storage and I haven't used it in years since I got a different lathe but I do remember that being an issue when I was trying to find a three jaw in better shape than mine was.
I also made a center rest for mine, it was one of the first projects I made with the lathe and it was a LOT of work especially since I didn't have a milling machine at the time, yes I broke a couple of safety rules making it but to this day it is still one of my funnest and most trying projects to make.
👍👍👍
Hobbys today are nil. So many Hobby Shops are now closed and those that are open, do not have much inventory. This is especially true in my area. The unimat has been around for a long time and for a hobbyist, they are great for small items. I personally do not want one because my hobby now is my car restroration. What the Unimat can do is not what I need. I would honestly like to acquire a ten or twelve in lathe as my 6" Atlas just does not have a large enough swing nor length for some potential projects. For now, it is all I can afford and I have made many upgrades and have purchased what I need to get a better finish. It is slow due to the manual crossfeed. I look on a couple different sites that cover local auctions and for sale items and a South Bend or something similar I have never seen. My area lost tons of production when Borg Warner left. There used to be some foundry work locally and that is gone. The EPA did not help. Caterpillar is another company that has downsized in my area and now is mainly a warehouse. You would think that I live in an area rich with machinery but not much for sale. So, bottom line, I am not interested in a Unimat. Sorry to be so winded.
A reversing switch is a waste because the spindle is threaded and the chuck can come loose in reverse.
Zip codes were instituted July 1, 1963.
You are right very few people have a hobby other than dope and tattoos. I need to start making great videos about body tattoos. I’m sure I would have millions of viewers but most of them would be stoned.
@@mrpete222 Tattoos, never understood why someone wants to have something that may prove to be a mistake later in life. I think that the internet via the phone has ruined peoples drive to learn things first hand and we have a cesspool of non doing individuals.
I also vote for a cleanup and videos on using this little lathe.
Mr. Pete.... IF it were me I would tear this machine down completely and restore it. First, it appears to be in remarkable mechanical condition. I saw very little wear and no signs of abuse. Second, this was a very popular lathe and plenty of accessories can be found (maybe even some cheap). Third (and I commented on this before), this lathe, when restored, would be a great candidate for an ELS (electronic lead screw). This attachment, simply put, eliminates the need for change gears OR a quick change gear box. Using a stepper motor and rotary encoder, a small "computer" with display will allow you to change both the rate and direction of the longitudinal feed WHILE THE LATHE IS RUNNING. I realize that borders on heresy for us OLD GUYS but the cost I understand is around $250. This little lathe could well be a very precision machine for small work such as making hardware and model steam engine kits. All depends, to me, on the time you would be willing to do it. I know your time is precious so maybe this would just be a pipe dream!
I have already done that and filmed it in a six video series to be released over the next month. In order to watch my videos you must search every week using the word Tubalcain.

I watch all your videos, so keep them coming.
Hi Mr Pete. I would love to see you make a steam engine on the Unimat lathe. Also, restoring the Atlas would be worth the effort and sure to draw in many viewers. I hope you get a Sherline lathe and see what you do with it. I had mine since 2007. I just upgraded my Sherline CNC mill with a larger base to handle bigger jobs. Looking forward to seeing what you decide to do. Thanks!!!
A series on the restoration of this lathe would be great please!
It looks worthy of restoration!
my first lathe was one of these. I struggled with making parts from steel so a year later I got a 10"
Hello Mrpete would really like to see you do the steam engine series. Very thorough video on this Atlas lathe, needs some work on it but your the man for the job.
I'd love to see a cleanup/restoration and operation video, looks like a neat little machine.
PS: yes to the 6" atlas also. It's been awhile since we visited the 6" atlas. Also the 6" atlas uses the same gears as the dunlap 109's.
Thanks, I did not know they used the same gears
I'll watch anything you do but I would enjoy seeing that lathe restored.
Watch my next six videos and you will see just that. You must search for my videos with the name Tubalcain. I have been canceled by YT.
I’ll take any 6in atlas videos! Also an any small Index 3 axis mill videos. Thanks Pete.
I watch everything you do Mr. Pete, but I will admit I'd be more interested in the this Atlas lathe restore and projects on that machine. As a hobbyist that machine is more like the one I use. Thank you for all of your hard work on these videos. I appreciate it very much. Be well.
😁😁
I’d love to see a restoration, keep the videos coming Mr Pete.
