fs: anyone want a 3 inch crafstman lathe before I part it out?
Bill Noble
seems pretty good - I just finished cleaning it up - slides all slide
nicely, no undue wear on the acme screws, bearings seem as good as ever,
half nuts are good - if I part it out and take my time, I can probably get
around $200 to $300, so I figure $75 is fair - part number 109-2063
I put the chuck that came with it up on ebay
(http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300380456122) - it also
cleaned up nicely.
If you are interested, contact me via the email on my web page - if you want
parts, also contact me and let me know what you want.

You should remove the reference to Atlas in your auction, this lathe
has nothing to do with the Atlas lathes sold by Sears as Craftsman.

thanks - I tried to, but once there is a bid on something I cannot change
the title - I did add a note (someone else sent me the same info) saying it
was not ATLAS - I guess before the war it was called "dunlap" -

That's an AA 109-0702 (I think)
The base model had no change gears, and that's probably what you have.
Nice little resto projects, bring several hundred at an antigue store.
I have a couple of earlier models restored, atop the library shelf
I have a complete 109-0701 in pieces, just needs refinish and assembly
if anyone is interested.

finished cleaning up a second one, listed it here
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300383547274 This one is
totally complete, with a full set of change gears, faceplate, lantern tool
post, 2 morse taper centers, etc - should be enough to get you started,
though don't expect the same performance from a little lathe like this as
from a full sized lathe. I think this particular one dates from 1945, but
that's a research based guess.
by the way, the one mentioned below sold for $100, so that sort of sets a
floor for the value of these things

In particular, be very gentle with your depth of cut and feeds
with larger workpieces. I understand that it is very easy to bend the
spindle nose with too heavy a cut.
My own preference from the Craftsman 6" lathes (that 3" is the
maximum workpiece radius, which is more common in UK terminology, and 6" is the
maximum workpiece *diameter*) is the Atlas/Craftsman -- a much more
solid machine.
Enjoy,
DoN.
