This is a short video showing the basic operation of the power feed mechanism on the Atlas mill, there was a question about a problem a viewer was having with his mill and I felt it was a good opertunity to show the feed mechanism and the internal operation of the gearbox as well as try out some new camera gear. I hope you find it usefull.

Atlas originally offered these machines aimed at the home shop and were a low cost alternative that fit in the shop or garage of the average hobbyist. Now they have become a machine that is being parted out on some sites with prices of used parts as well as new reproduction parts in many instances being many times more than their actual value. This is my attempt to show how many of these parts can be built by the average hobbyist as well as offer many at a reasonable cost so these machines can continue to be enjoyed by the hobby machinist.

I haven't seen your content in my feed in a while until this just showed up. Another great video. I'm curious if you know of a good way to check/adjust the bevel gears in the gearbox (@ 8:15). Setting those properly was a real pain, especially when dealing with those ultra thin shim washers between the gears and the frame. Thanks again for sharing.

Thanks, don’t know of a specific way to set the bevel gears, I suspect they should be set with about the same clearance as you would set the standard change gears on the Atlas lathe with a small piece of paper. They could be patterned as you would set up an auto rear end but I don’t think it is worth the effort. Dan.

I've found a similar issue in the gear selector box of my MFB I'm restoring. The selector was intermittently very difficult to engage/disengage. It turns out the right side of the box (holding the Spur Gear MF-3) was bent out slightly causing the stud MF-5 to misalign with the table gear MF-18. It also eventually caused the bevel gears to skip then strip over time, especially at the table ends of travel. I'm looking at ways to straighten and reinforce the side of the housing and rebuilding the gears.

Yes, it was probably forced causing the bending of the gearbox, while you may manage to straighten it without it breaking it will now always be a weak point( zamak does not like to be forced around)

Thanks for the video. Do you have a basic 101 video of this machine? How’s the gears and belts, levers and everything should be set to use? I have the ATLAS model MF I don’t want to have something set wrong and flip the switch for the first time and break something. I am a hobby machinist with and use my Atlas 10F lathe, Causing 8520 mill but have not used the horizontal mill yet. Thank you!

I don’t think I have one dedicated specifically to the mill’s operation, I will glance thru and see what I have. If I do it will be in the playlist for the atlas mill. Dan.

I had the same problem with my Atlas Mill. Got it stripped down, clean and repaired as needed. put it back to gother and I stripped out the bevel gears. Why ? the lead screw, I didn't ajust and lock it down. In one derecction the screw became lose and in the other derection the lead screw became tight to the point where locked up to the point where it stripped the bevel gers. Where does one find bevel gears? For the next 8 months did the reserth, found needs a specel mochine. So I built my own gear cutter, so he needs to check his gears, are they stripped out

He found a spacer that had not been installed correctly and was loose in the gearbox, has it working now. Thanks, Dan.

I'm not shore if that would couse the problem, it should lead to a lots of gear play, where as the teeth would be running on the tips, check the lead screw end play and make shore the adjustment is locked down, all this is at the other end of the table

I have seen video of his gearbox and before he found the shim that was out of place I suggested that it could possibly be made functional by spacing the gear forward, that was indeed the cause. Dan.

Thanks, Canon R10 with an older eos 28-135 image stabilizing lens. I got the kit lens when I ordered the camera but haven’t played with it much as I have a couple of higher quality lenses from my film camera days (did a lot of school and sports stuff when the boys were growing up) so I got an adapter to use the eos lenses.
