My father was a machinist and he had a metal lathe. I remember him working with it and I was fascinated with it. He ended up either giving it or selling it to my Uncle when he and my mom were moving out of state. He hated to part with it, but he followed the work.
Evan, Atlas tools were also sold under the Craftsman name. Brand name tools are important, but quality brands are more valuable. I wish you success in your endeavors.
I would suggest adding a metalworking bandsaw to your line-up. Horizontal ones can be gotten cheap on the used market. Also I would come up with a much sturdier bench for that lathe. Finally a 3 jaw chuck for the lathe will be a great time-saver. The face plate that's on it now is good for clamping odd-shaped work but most of what you'll be lathing will be round stock, and a 3 jaw chuck will be much more quick and convenient to use for that.
Its often been said, That a man with a shop full of tools and a generous heart should never need to buy a cold beer ever again. And I can testify that this is very true. Between the Stick,Mig, and now Tig welders. And the lathe and Mill I added this summer. The friends and family have been stopping over a little more often. I told them all that the hourly rate is 6 packs of Coors light. And to pre pay is highly encouraged, Especially in the hot summer months. LoL. There's not much we haven't been able to fix or repair so fare.
Over my years in construction, I have noticed that tradesmen make their tool boxes with materials and tools they use in their trade. Carpenters use wood, welders use steel or aluminum and sheet metal guys (like me) use sheet metal. Makes perfect sense! I am proud for you getting those tools, but I would have no idea how to start using them!😀
The mill/drill is a 'Rong Fu' sold under lots of different brand names and made in Taiwain. Sent all around the world including here in New Zealand and might be still be in production. Some folks have even converted to CNC. Enjoy.
Yes, I have the Grizzly G1006/G1007 that was made in 2004. It had a CNC system added to it. And they even upgraded the lead screw to CNC set up. Unfortunately the system that they used back then had some bugs in it. And when the gentleman that converted it and new how to use it passed away. Well, the machine got pushed in the corner. Then when they moved this past spring. My brother who works in maintenance was told to make that thing work or get rid of it. So it was put up for sale with a starting bid of $20.00 they way it sat. After 7 days the bid was $50.00 for scrap. We bid $60.00 and bought it. And fortunately my brother knew where all the manual parts where that where taken off when it was converted to CNC. Well at least most of them. So we got it home and started putting her back together. With a little help from a online Manual and several photos and You Tube videos we figured it out what went where. We had to add a DRO for the quill as the depth scale thing on the front was missing, and not available from Grizzly. But ill say this, The DRO was easy to add, So much that I have plans this winter to add 2 more to the X and Y control's. These are very ridged machines, you aren't going to take huge cuts like a Bridgeport would. But for a small footprint machine for a home shop, there a handy tool to have. Now I'm in the market for a ridged machine like a Acer or Bridgeport knee mill. I'm hooked on making stuff in my own shop.
You should be VERY happy with your auction win! Man Evan! That's got to be 6-8K worth of stuff at least. Just the rotary table alone is worth $1200. You got a GREAT deal!
Evan, it looks like you made a good deal on all of that equipment and your shop is going to be stocked with the equipment you will need in the future and now with the new barn, you have a good place to keep it.
Dang….what a score! I’ve been looking for a mill and lathe as well, but everybody seems to think their old, well used equipment is made of gold. You REALLY lucked out….especially with all the tooling and accessories. And 2 HP benchtop mill? I might just cry…. :(
After research, it is a clone of a grizzly G0705. I have been looking for a mill and lathe since August. Have been outbid on several. It took me a while to finally get them.
I wish y'all were closer... we're cleaning up a property and there are like 20 lathes here...of course the property owner thinks every bit of his trash is gold...if he hadn't let so much of it rot for the past 20yrs...
Those are GREAT man-toys, and the first project will probably be machining an new cover hinge for the Atlas lathe. You will love being able to machine your own parts. I see sheet metal working equipment in your future, now.....LOL
That will be awesome to fabricate real world stuff on. necessity is the mother of invention. What is neat is I can tell by what you have already done fixing machinery that this will be put to good use going forward. I can't imagine what that stuff costs new. People make excuses about buying used stuff but if it last your lifetime, what does it matter if its new or not.... so... Great buy I think.
Evan, you have expanded your knowledge and equipment for your farm. I'm looking forward in watching your videos on these machines. You have a variety of choices for your great videos.
Nice score. if you don't have one I highly recommend getting a press for your shop. at least a 20 ton capacity. I have a 40 ton press in my home shop and it has saved my butt many times, one of my most used tools.
Definitely, Even a Harbor Frieght model off the Book of Face market place. As long as its not all bent and twisted there pretty good to go. You'll definitely use it for sure. Also a cheap set of cutting tourchs and tanks. Between heat and a press, there isn't much you won't be able to losses up.
Congratulations to the winning bid! Now, you know, you will have to show us using these tools, so all of us "grown up boys" can enjoy stuff we could not afford, but at least we get to se you using them :)
Congrats on that super haul Evan! I can see that equipment helping tons on those old farm equipment repairs/refabricating. And with the industrial mantainence experience you have I'm sure you can make some stuff happen with it. My nephew was head mantainence for a large chicken processing plant for years and with all that well-rounded experience he can do about anything that comes up - I think you'll agree it IS well-rounded😉 . Nice purchases. Thanks for sharing.
We gotta take up and get this man some overalls. At one of my former jobs, I had to pull the lift and drive out method with a bulk aluminum frame rail that was 45 feet long. 45 ft rail? 2500 lbs? Regular 2 ton lift truck? No problem except your hind end pinching a hole in the seat. Lots of nerves on edge but we got it did and never broke anything.
I think you did great Evan, good luck with getting use to those machines and being able to fabricate the parts you may need. Stay safe around there and keep having fun with what you’re doing. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻
Finding old lathes & things at a bargain price i used to have a 1.2ton foot kick press and lathe handy making Tools & things from scrap . after a year you make your handy tools cost $- near nothing that wud cost $100.s also heat treated steel
You might want to watch a couple of episodes of OLD TIME STEAMPOWERED MACHINE SHOP, on the internet, David Richards recreated a 1925 machine shop, what he doesn't know about machining is worth knowing about. 50 plus years of machining
Wow what an awesome haul of tools and definitely worth every cent paid for, my Dad was an engineer, he would have loved to have all that in his workshop, R.I.P Dad!
All I know about that stuff, is goggles. My understanding is that tiny metal pieces can fly into the eyes ... which can cause problems in any future MRI's that might be needed. But Miss Rebekah is surely knowledgeable on that stuff ...
Nice "boy toys" mate. You always have youtube, great teacher. Something to learn with during those long cold winters. Looks like you got a bargain with all those extras. Happy for you.
Congrats on your purchase! You'll save $$ in the long run. Your pole barn is filling up fast.
A machine shop is most definitely a good idea on a farm especially if you are using older equipment.
Christmas came early for you! Don’t think you could smile any bigger…you were almost giddy! LOL
Congrats on beefing up your machine shop bud. Can’t wait to see what you make with it.
I agree, you need those pieces of equipment to maintain a farm.
You were ment to win all you got Even. What a awesome buy.
You'ill need several 220 volts outlets anyway. Good scores.
nice score on the tools. That should keep you busy all winter.
I have no ideal what you got, but you are happy and know what you are doing so that is all that matters. God bless and take care.
Can't ever have to many tools, love it
Good morning.
You're having too much fun. 👍👍
My father was a machinist and he had a metal lathe. I remember him working with it and I was fascinated with it. He ended up either giving it or selling it to my Uncle when he and my mom were moving out of state. He hated to part with it, but he followed the work.
We need more guys like you when TSHTF .... dont have it ? make it !
I found this interesting. My dad was a machinist and kept Keebler cookie production going. I remember touring the plant as a kid.
Evan, Atlas tools were also sold under the Craftsman name. Brand name tools are important, but quality brands are more valuable. I wish you success in your endeavors.

Congratulations on some great additions to your shop
See all that you have done on your homestead, I know you’ll do a great job with your news tools.
Nice tools!
Good to have!
Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
Very nice good buy
Wow, great find! You can make practically anything with a mill and a lathe.
Great deal - you sure lucked out here - hoping you get years of service from this equipment - Thanks for sharing....
Excellent haul! You got lots for you dollar
I'm so jealous!!!!! 👋🇨🇦👍👍
All I can say is that I'm jealous. Great purchases Evan!
Congratulations, after your neighbourhood finds out you have all this welding equipment you are going to have a number of requests for welding jobs.

Evan, another good video. Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend.
Nice haul. Well Done, it will serve you well.
When setting up don’t forget you have to clean them and make sure you shim to make level and they don’t move around
Big time Score !!!
Working your way to self reliance which is key these days well done!!!!
Great purchase I have found here in CT most farms that I have gone to are set up with machinery to repair all the farm equipment
My Dad had every tool you could think of. My Mom sold all of them at an auction when he died.
Over my years in construction, I have noticed that tradesmen make their tool boxes with materials and tools they use in their trade. Carpenters use wood, welders use steel or aluminum and sheet metal guys (like me) use sheet metal. Makes perfect sense! I am proud for you getting those tools, but I would have no idea how to start using them!😀
Great score! You’ll have fun learning on the fly. Needless to say, RUclips will be your friendly teacher.
Nice old Atlas .score
While you were feeding the critters this morning couldn't help noticing the beautiful color change of the tree leaves!
Yes, the fall colors are here. It looks nice.
Go man. You can make it happen.
Glad you got tools. Know you will use and care for. Never hesitate to try to fix anything you can. Respect that
Looking good buddy be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska
Thank goodness for the tractor.
Good buy

My dad works with a big milling machine like that at his work (he makes springs). At home we got a small one for wood work
Fantastic
OLA'S (on line auctions)can be a lot of fun, but we always get what we pay for.
Government auctions are another fun thing.
Evan, it looks like you made a good deal on all of that equipment and your shop is going to be stocked with the equipment you will need in the future and now with the new barn, you have a good place to keep it.

I use hibid.com most of the time.
I wish y'all were closer... we're cleaning up a property and there are like 20 lathes here...of course the property owner thinks every bit of his trash is gold...if he hadn't let so much of it rot for the past 20yrs...
You are bright and you will succeed in your endeavors with your new equipment!
Man you made out! Good job 👍🏻
WOW u got one heck of a deal their, every man should have what u just picked up and i love that old farm equipment and i hope u buy more old stuff..
You did not get hurt on the price.
You will have to get a bigger shed the way you are going good for you what you can make is always better than you can buy
Those are GREAT man-toys, and the first project will probably be machining an new cover hinge for the Atlas lathe. You will love being able to machine your own parts. I see sheet metal working equipment in your future, now.....LOL
Yeah, I still need some type of hydraulic press, an air compressor and something to sand blast parts. Then I should have what I need.
great score,i was a machinist, those tools are high priced,evan,mowe down your cow pasture to feed for next yr grasses
Good luck with your new tools can’t wait to see you use it
Looks like you got a good deal. I look forward to seeing what you do.
Thanks Tony. Looks like your pole barn is coming along. I like the steel trusses. The vaulted ceilings will be great.
Why would i want all those tools
haha what kinda question is that ofcourse you need all the tools
And more !
You got an awesome buy. The hay machine you bought, now you will be able to make the the parts much easier. Blessings, and be safe🙂
Your sure are knowledgeable, handy and willing to venture out and learn. God Bless.
congratulations on setting up your new work shop! One can't have too many tools nor weapons.
“May the Force be with you”! 👍 😀
That will be awesome to fabricate real world stuff on. necessity is the mother of invention. What is neat is I can tell by what you have already done fixing machinery that this will be put to good use going forward. I can't imagine what that stuff costs new.

Good things happen to Good people!
Evan, you have expanded your knowledge and equipment for your farm. I'm looking forward in watching your videos on these machines. You have a variety of choices for your great videos.

Congratulations on the wins....sure you will use this equipment.
You did very good job on the machines
Glad you were able to get the tools you wanted.
You got a great deal there Evan I bet you can’t wait to start to use it all. Some cool projects to come I bet
Congratulations to the winning bid! Now, you know, you will have to show us using these tools, so all of us "grown up boys" can enjoy stuff we could not afford, but at least we get to se you using them :)
Yea, great find. Those lathes will last 3 lifetimes when you take care of them.
Most farms have some amount of metal working equipment like you say you can’t find the part or it takes to long to get what you need
Congratulations! Nice looking tools!
What a great deal
Congrats on that super haul Evan! I can see that equipment helping tons on those old farm equipment repairs/refabricating. And with the industrial mantainence experience you have I'm sure you can make some stuff happen with it. My nephew was head mantainence for a large chicken processing plant for years and with all that well-rounded experience he can do about anything that comes up - I think you'll agree it IS well-rounded😉 .

We gotta take up and get this man some overalls.
At one of my former jobs, I had to pull the lift and drive out method with a bulk aluminum frame rail that was 45 feet long.
45 ft rail?
2500 lbs?
Regular 2 ton lift truck?
No problem except your hind end pinching a hole in the seat.
Lots of nerves on edge but we got it did and never broke anything.
Wow! Quite a haul!! Congratulations on winning the auction.
Leave it at 240 and wire the milling machine for 240 also if you can they run cheaper and smoother
OH DANG NABBIT! YOU GOT A great deal on ell em! Fun times ahead!!
from the Netherlands thanks for the video
Wow, what a haul! Game on. You will find a spot for everything in that beautiful new barn.
Congrats on your purchase at the auction. Those tools will help you a lot with the farm repairs.
Good work Evan
I think you did great Evan, good luck with getting use to those machines and being able to fabricate the parts you may need. Stay safe around there and keep having fun with what you’re doing. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻
Congratulation!
Wow! You did great 😮
You have won the jackpot! Good for you!

...when does a tool become a machine ?..lol..good buy, keep safe and have a great weekend...
All I know about that stuff, is goggles. My understanding is that tiny metal pieces can fly into the eyes ... which can cause problems in any future MRI's that might be needed. But Miss Rebekah is surely knowledgeable on that stuff ...
Very good price, if your more or less just starting out its a heck of a buy in my opinion, I would love to start with those!!
Nice "boy toys" mate. You always have youtube, great teacher. Something to learn with during those long cold winters. Looks like you got a bargain with all those extras. Happy for you.
