Chinese stuff has ZERO value there so don't let it sway the price upward if that's what he has.Īnd.be sure and consider that you'll put several hundred dollars more into your own tooling for this lathe. Since Im only going to use this as a feed, and only rarely at that, it doesnt need ball. Mostly, I didnt want to build a half-nut mechanism. Im lazy, so I wanted to do this in as easy a manner as possible. I wanted to add a feedscrew to the 618, in addition to the leadscrew, for a couple of reasons. If the seller is tossing in things like drill bits for "extra tooling", check the country of origin (usually imprinted on the shanks). Adding a feedscrew to the Atlas 618 lathe. That $ 500 you mentioned is not that far off "normal" for a complete working lathe of this calibre-Only a bargain with some good extra tooling and overpriced if incomplete, worn out, or if there is damage to any of the castings. The various tailstock tools like a drill chuck and live or dead centers are good to have but not that costly to replace.

What should normally come with it in addition to the change gears is a 3-jaw chuck, a 4-jaw chuck and a face plate. As TP mentioned, extra tooling coming with it can also significantly increase value over a bare-bones lathe. If any of those gears are missing, that makes a HUGE difference in value.

Plus a small plastic container with tool bits already ground, faceplate, steady rest and follower rest.I'm not totally familiar with that particular model but it appears to be one that requires change-gears for different threads.

Number of Pages: 14 This is a reproduction, not a photocopy, of an Atlas 6 Lathe NO. Was supposed to go to a guy up north but that never happened. I have one of the sears lathes such as you describe. I need a drum switch for reversing the motor a belt and I should be able to get it running? After I get it running I will reassess what it needs adjust accordingly, then tooling and playing!!
