Two of the three copies made in England under the "Sphere" and "Halifax" labels went further and had several parts including the headstock 4-step pulley, changewheel guards and shell of the bed-mounted reversing gearbox made from an early form of a black, engineering-grade plastic. In the USA no such version was offered, though it was possible to fit the ordinary machine with a conversion kit - a bed-mounted 6-station capstan unit and a cut-ff (forming) slide.Įven in pre-WW2 years Atlas had made novel and economical use of new materials and all models had their changewheels, most other gears, handwheels, pulleys, clasp nuts and other small items made from "ZAMAK". Also produced, though in the UK only during and just after WW2, was a capstan version (screw-machine) a lathe dedicated to production work.

If you don't recognise your particular Atlas model, explore all the hyper-links above for, besides different sizes of lathe, the company also produced a range of " Utility" and what were called " Unit Plan" models - some without screwcutting and with unguarded belt drives - that can be difficult to categorise. Although Atlas lathes were subjected to continuous detailed improvements, the general appearance of the 10-inch remained substantially unchanged from 1936 until 1957 - and the 6-inch lathe from 1937 until the early 1980s. As the final 12-inch lathe was assembled on the 6th of March, 1981, that gives a production run for the type as a whole, including the first 9-inch models, of almost 50 years. Even so, the very early 9-inch and the later more thoroughly developed 12-inch metal-turning are also not uncommon. Also relatively common is the Atlas wood lathe, this being made in several versions, some of which are shown here. Because they sold in such huge numbers, the most frequently encountered models today are the "10F", a power-cross feed version of the "10-D", and the useful little backgeared and screwcutting 6-inch (3-inch centre height).

Again, there is a bit of a “knack” to using this control as the clearance between it and the cross slide handle is a bit limited.
