This is a reproduction, not a photocopy, of an original Atlas Craftsman-Sears Manual of Lathe Operation and Machinists Tables for 10-inch Quick Change Lathe, 10-inch Standard Change Gear Lathe and 6" Standard Change Gear Lathe. This manual covers Atlas lathes with quick gear change, standard gear change, lathes that have a pull knob to engage the power cross feed, Timken bearings, and horizontal motor drive systems. It covers everything shown in the index section listed below and more. This manual is printed in it's original size 5.5" x 8.5".
This manual formatted with in introduction and then is broken down into 12 sections which vary in pages. The 12 sections are as follows:
No.1 Lathe Care and Construction
No.4 The Machining of Various Metals
No.8 Lathe Attachments and Their Uses
No.9 Woodturning on the Metal Lathe
No.12 Pages For Your Shop Notes
For your convenience, I have reprinted up six different original versions of this Manual of Lathe Operation book to cover the large span of lathes that Atlas produced from circa 1937 to the late 1900's. Some of the manuals overlap on certain machines and parts, because Atlas didn't change every machine and part at precise times, but I can help you match the appropriate manual with your machine. SEE "Which manual works with your lathe:" below.
