Atlas lathe - stock code 3982

An Atlas back-geared, screw-cutting lathe, an older machine in good condition. Like the Myford, it is a countershaft machine set up with a motor platform at the rear – there is no motor, although the pulley is included and could be fitted to any suitable small, fractional horsepower motor.

Complete with thread dial indicator, three-jaw chuck and faceplate, two Jacobs tailstock chucks, a set of changewheels and some new, brazed-carbide tools. The cross slide has a broken handle, the broken bit is in the box of bits and could be brazed back on.

Length 27 inches

Weight 75 pounds
