I've acquired an old Sears Craftsman Atlas metal lathe, circe 1942, with what seems to be all attachments and accessories, plus lots of homemade tooling. I have no idea how to use this thing, or what to do to even set it up. I think it has a 42" bed - a big heavy moose.
Anyone in the area with experience with this lathe, or metal lathe setup in general that wouldn't mind coming over and assessing this thing for me? I'd be happy to trade out your time for lunch or whatever.
Thanks, Todd
(I thought I had a picture of it - but I don't. But, these are some of the other tools (etc) I got at the same time: http://www.burchwoodusa.com/miscpix/...d%20Tools.html)
