I've had the best luck on eBay, but sometimes you have to wait a few months to find what you're looking for. You can set up search alerts which is helpful.

I have not heard of it. Thank you. Excellent suggestion.

Glad I was able to help. Thanks for the support!

Million different ways to skin that cat. It is a flat lifter. You definitely need an oil with zinc in it or a zinc additive

@@MakeStuffNation I need to do an oil change soon what do you recommend?

Thank you. Check out the video for my version 2 which has a much better and simpler design.

Thank you! Yes, they are 1/2-in link belts. You can pick them up on Amazon or other stores and adjust them to any length you need.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for the tips!

wild! I thought it was just mine. Glad I was able to help

I also have this issue. Everything works great but the "+" zoom button does nothing. Let me know if you find a solution.

Good tip! Thanks!

Thanks! I hope your project goes well.

Thanks! I made an even better version that is linked at the end of the video.

I was able to find most of the parts I need on eBay. Sometimes they are listed under the wrong part number so you have to be careful.

Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion

Do you mean to loosen them, Like if you want to change the ratio or they won't turn it all? If they're not turning at all and the pin is pulled, something is frozen. It is possible that the pulley cone is frozen to the shaft. It should rotate freely with the pin pulled.

I used a Bosch brands drill bit but honestly any diamond glass and tile drill bit should work. Also any hand drill should work. If the drill has hammer mode, do not use that. It will break your plates. There are links in the video description to the drill bits I used.

Thanks!

For a 20/25 feet long & 5/6 feet wide boat what's the ideal size of the sail should be? Long upward & wide sideways. Give measurements in feet kindly

Maybe on different model years. I was able to get it activated with forscan without shorting any pins.

Thank you! I did not know that. I have two smaller chucks that I intend to use with the lathe. Luckily the bearings were in good condition when I got to that point in the restoration. Not sure why they had such a huge chuck on it.

@MakeStuffNation WOW, then I am glad I shared that with you. I have a twin to your machine with all the original Atlas tooling it came with. If you want, I can get measurements off my chucks if that would help. The 4 jaw original is a significantly larger diameter than the 3 jaw these machines were originally equipped with. I suspect that chuck likely came on something like a Southbend heavy 10" When you are ready to use it, get a quick change tool post for it, you will be glad you did. Unless you are wealthy and can afford the best, Aloris, or Dorian, Look at Phase II brand. Import and half the cost of the good brands. Also, if $ is tight the next decision you will have is piston type post, or wedge. Wedge is better, but costs more for guys with shallow pockets like me. I had to settle for the cheaper piston, but have never been disappointed with the piston. Next decision is size of post. Ideally an AXA would be the first choice. I opted for a BXA post, which absolutely looks a bit large on the machine, but in use works just fine with no issues I have noticed. I chose the BXA specifically for one reason only. I can use a scissors type knurling attachment from the tool holder. AXA posts you cannot do that with as unless you build one, you cannot buy a scissor type knurling attachment to fit an AXA tool holder. Don't use a pressure type knurling tool holder on an Atlas machine. If you do, don't do it very often, or you will destroy the brass nut on the cross slide. Atlas made them that way for use with a lantern type pressure knurler, but simply put, those machines are not heavy enough to do much knurling on with that kind of holder without damaging that nut. Pressure type knurling tool are fine for heavier machines like South Bend, Logan, Etc. Just NOT Atlas.

Interesting. I didn't see that anywhere in the parts diagram for this model. The oil passages I found in the apron all appear to be working as designed though.

@@MakeStuffNation the pipe cleaners wick the oil and direct it to gears below. Could be later models I suppose. I actually bought my lathe with the 3 phase motor in it , luckily I hade a converter I found at a thrift store for 25 bucks .

Cool! Maybe I will do a motor swap sometime in the future. Yes, the carriage feed is a little fast for a nice surface finish.

You are correct if you are using standard belts but I use link belts. They run quieter and are easily replaced without disassembling anything.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks. I hope your project goes well.

@@MakeStuffNation I'm deleting it since I know there's a gbody windshield with the antenna built in

There is a link in the video description (4scan tutorial)

That's awesome! I wish you the best of luck!

such is life

Thanks, will do!

The PVC worked just fine but you need to make sure it's supported. It gets very flexible and floppy when it is heated by the steam (just like the wood).

Of course! I haven't made my video yet, but this gentleman explains it well in his video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/prxlh9N-3MvMl5s.htmlsi=HY6YkMRbzTUMvcwj Good luck and thanks for the support!

Glad to hear it!
