1" x 10tpi faceplate
Bannerstone
I'm looking for a faceplate 1" x 10 tpi for an old Atlas. I've scoured the net
but none of the suppliers I saw list such an animal. Figured if there were a
source that might cover some of the more obscere items one of you fellas might
know.
Again this is an Atlas, manufactured between the 40s and late 50s in the U.S.
Thanks in advance

I don't know where to get one from yet ! but it might help your search
to know that both the Harrison Jubilee and the Arundel E5 lathes are the
same size spindles, the Harrison is likely to have Right and Left hand
faceplates, so if buying second hand make sure you have the right one,
(or left one for that matter if you know what I mean).

David,
In regards to finding a 1 x 10 tpi faceplate, why not get a 3/4 x 16 tpi
(common size) and have a machinist rethread it? You just have to be
sure there is enough thickness. I had a chuck from a metal lathe that
I just had done for The General and it works great!
Good Luck,
Ruth and The General

Back again, I am guessing that you are in the good old US of A, so you
may not be particularly interested in a UK based "Info Centre / dealer"
but have a look at this site anyway if only out of general interest:-
www.lathes.co.uk But then in USA if you haven't already looked try :-
www.atlas-press.com/service.htm the web page is under construction but
still manages to show the way perhaps , hope so for you anyway,good
luck.

appropriate nut on to a steel disk and you have nearly free faceplate. I
have over 50 face plates, all home made and never had the slightest problem
with any of them.

contact Victor at BestWood Tools. He'll make you a face plate (and just
about anything else you could want--like a spindle adapter) in any thread
configuration you want. Website is
http://www.store.yahoo.com/bestwoodtools/
Victor has done all kinds of special things for people at very reasonable
prices. The latest he did for me was a #2 Morse taper to 1 1/4-8 adapter to
mount my stronghold chuck in my tailstock for centering a piece on a vacuum
chuck for reverse turning it. Quality is always superb.
No connection with Victor other than the regular flow of money from my
credit card to his bank account.

I also have the Atlas Lathe. Best Wood Tools out of Florida was able to
provide me with a 3 inch, 1 X 10 faceplates. Cost was $24.99 a year
ago.Website http://bestwoodtools.com
If you want to get a faceplate with a pedigree I believe that Oneway will
thread their's to whatever you need.
Now for my question: anyone know where I can locate a handwheel for the
Tailstock?

I got it when I purchased my old Delta lathe, which of course is 1" x 8tpi.
Contact me and we'll see what we can work out.

I buy my faceplates from Howard Borer, whose email address is:
He can custom make you one in any size and thread you like.
Great products, decent price, and a nice guy to deal with.

You are wasting your time with Victor at BestWood Tools. I seriously mean
that. I can't even get him to answer e-mails about a special project I
contacted him about, over 6 weeks ago. Maybe you might have better luck.
BTW, if you can find nuts that match your spindle, I know a gut in
Washington state that can make 'em. E-mail me off channel and I will give
you his e-mail addr.
Proper Case Bill, looking out his beautiful shop window at big old oak

You need both G3174 (insert) and G1633 (faceplate).
They have 3-jaw and 4-jaw chucks that use these inserts also, but
they're big, heavy, and have whirling wicked bits, which might not be
desired ;)

( www.busybeetools.com) for $35 CDN (or about $2US or something like that!
VBG). The part numbers you want are B-1291 for the face plate and SLV-341
for the 10 tpi sleeve.
Let me know if you need more assistance.

The only time I have had any trouble contacting them, they were away at a
show. He's actually been very accessible for me and often turned special
requests over in a day or two. I imagine turn around time depends on how
involved he is with his usual projects. I don't doubt your experience, but it
seems anomolous to what Del and I have experienced. If you like, email me and
I'll make contact for you to try to see if I can get communication flowing
again.

custom work for me on a couple of occasions. Bill, I too don't doubt your
experience. Six weeks is a long time to not respond, but did you try the
telephone? Even if he doesn't have a toll free number, phone rates are
hardly expensive. Could be his e-mail had a glitch or something else.
Which brings me to the longer thought (not directed at Bill, but all of us,
particularly myself):
The other point I'd add is not just about BestWood, but most of the people
we deal with. With a few exceptions (Woodcraft in particular comes to mind
as an example of the exceptions) many of the people we deal with are very
small businesses staffed by a very few people. Packard Woodworks is Brad,
Debbie, and Rick. That's it. Craft Supplies USA is not much larger. With
BestWood, I think it's Victor's daughter that answers the phone, and he does
much of the machining/manfacturing himself. Even when you call someone as
big as Oneway, you're talking to a family member or one of a very few
employees. And we know how massive Jerry Glaser's staff is. Additionally,
small businesses don't necessarily have the kind of technical infrastructure
large companies have and they must deal with the same kinds of ISP/e-mail
issues we all do on occasion.
Part of the advantage of dealing with these people is the attentive,
personal service we receive most of the time. But also there are going to
be times that they just can't/don't respond immediately. Even woodturning
suppliers deserve a vacation once in a while, and even a relatively minor
family illness can be devastating to them in many ways including their
ability to respond to customers in a timely way. And we all want to see
Brad Packard in Providence this summer, but that means he may be slower to
respond for a couple of weeks while he digs out afterwards. And, as we know
all too well, e-mail doesn't always work perfectly.
I'm in no way making excuses for poor performance by any supplier, but just
think we need to remember that when an otherwise dependable supplier doesn't
immediately respond to an e-mail maybe we need to pick up the phone. And if
that doesn't work, realize there may be something else going on. And if, in
the end, there isn't, find another supplier. But if you demand 24/7/365
availability of a supplier, you'll miss the opportunity to work with some
wonderful, creative, caring people that can make our life better in a lot of
ways including supporting our favorite addiction.

I wouldn't totally dismiss Bestwood Tools. The telephone might be a better
option than an e-mail.They made me parts
from my measurements and delivered them to me in a timely fashion. I have a
feeling he is very busy with all the good comments he gets here.His workmanship
is top notch.
