Until 1936 the slide had a travel of 2.75" ( the unit fitted both the early 9-inch and 10-inch lathes up to number 3969) and after that a more useful 3.75".Ī smaller version, the M6-500 with a vertical feed of only 1.75", was manufactured for the 6-inch lathe (and the Craftsman clone) and, in photographs, is easily confused with the larger model. In 1940 the sliding section was given an additional gib screw and the vise strengthened by using a post mounting (exactly like the base) -a modification that allowed the unit to be strengthened by eliminating the cutaways in bottom of the vise that had been necessary to allow access to the mounting nuts. The modified unit retained the early slideway with its 3 gib screws (one of which acted as a lock) and a vise held on by two bolts. Square-headed bolts, passing through the base of the column casting, pushed short bevelled-ended bars against an inverted conical face on the post and so drew it down tightly.
Over the years the slide underwent a number of changes with the first versions, sold until approximately 1936, being set up for use on the 9-inch and early 10-inch lathe (the D Type) where the unit was secured to the cross slide by two T-bolts running in a circular slot (it is possible that this design was briefly changed to two T-nuts, with the bolts going in from the top) With an improvement in the design of the compound slide (late in the short life of the 10-inch D Type) the milling unit had to be modified to accept the same fitting - a stout post integral with the cross slide over which either the top slide or the milling unit dropped.
Simple but very useful Boring Table 7" x 7" designed to replace the cross slide and fitted with a fully-adjustable vice: - jaw width 3", jaw height 1 5/8 ", opening 4 5/8 ".Īlways the most sought-after accessory, and available from the start of Atlas lathe production in 1932, the vertical milling slide was fitted with a useful swivelling vise with a maximum capacity of 2 3/8 " and a pair of interchangeable plain and V-slotted jaws. Safety guards fitted to a particularly well-restored mid 1950s 10-F While the changewheel cover was in aluminium its mounting plate and the other parts were all in cast iron. Standard lightweight Type 760 taper-turning unit 700 "Toolroom" version is shown above, the lighter and much cheaper "standard" 760 version below Of the two types commonly found on the 10-inch Atlas. While virtually nothing can be swapped over between the 700 and 760, many (but not all parts) are interchangeable between the 7. 700 and 760 were for the early 9-inch, 10-inch and early 12". The 6822 was for the late-model (post-1958) 12-inch while the Nos. Three different Taper Attachments were offered over the years for the Atlas/Craftsman 9-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch lathes, the Nos.
