SHOP TIPS

[@dittmerg]

Mr Pete, this is the second time you have helped me. I tried in vain to set up my lathe using the chart on the lathe, but after watching your video everything made sense. Thank you so very much for the video....

[@mrpete222]

Great to hear!

[@billcurtis2056]

Mr Pete, I have been thoroughly enjoying your videos. My dad has had an Atlas Craftsman lathe since I was a kid and I learned the basics when I was young, but its been many years since then. I am getting ready to add it to my shop and these tutorials about this lathe are fabulous. It has also been great to see the various ways in which a lathe can be used, many of which I never knew you could do on a lathe. Thanks for being my online shop teacher.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching

[@lonniewhite1005]

you are a book of knowledge and I truly enjoy all the different types of videos you make

[@mrpete222]

+lonnie white Thank you very much

[@toddanonymous5295]

Thanks Mr Pete, I have this same lathe and now feel more confident to cut threads. I have always wanted to try it but was intimidated by my novice experience. Thanks to you I am gradually moving out of the novice level. Can't wait until the next video !

Great video. Please continue with this sort of thing as this is what anyone watching a video to learn needs to know. We can see flea market buys any place. Thanks for sharing.

I'm sincerely glad I watched and found this video because I just bought this lathe and I was looking through all the parts on the bench to take because I'm new to this and the the guy I bought this from doesn't really know it was his father's who passed away but there are Parts I held in my hand that I didn't think went with this machine that watching this video made me glad again that I did was because when I go pick the machine up tomorrow I know what pieces I left behind that I won't be leaving behind LOL

[@mrpete222]

Awesome, make sure that you get every part

[@MrGoosePit]

Great information and presentation. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks!

I love my 10" Atlas lathe, I got a differential clutch on my lead screw for back and forward motion...

[@shelby50411]

Your video awesome....very clear...i now understand how to change gears for threading...on my craftsman 109....prior to your video i was very unclear...its very similar to your lathe.....i did notice prior owner didnt have a washer spacer to get gears to line up...the gears were only mating 50%....so i logically added a washer and now the gears are 100% mating

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, I'm glad I helped you

[@MaturePatriot]

Thank GOD, and some inspired person (can't believe an engineer would come up with such a great idea), for the QC gearbox. It was probably a cost saving suggestion by a machinist, who was tired of changing gears.

[@RyanWeishalla]

Nice intro. One of the nice things on my change geared lathe versus the quick change is that I can get a finer federate on it (both are Craftsman/Atlas).

[@mrpete222]

+ILGopher Thanks for watching--so true

[@tomswonderfulworld]

I agree 100% the atlas book is a Great book!

[@mrpete222]

+tomswonderfulworld Thanks for watching

[@kevinwillis9126]

very well explained as always. thank you sir..

[@mrpete222]

+Kevin Willis Thanks for watching

[@johnanonomous238]

I just picked up the same machine and have I leaned so much from your videos! Can you suggest some simple beginner projects, like you would've used in your shop classes?

[@mrpete222]

Congratulations on the new lathe. Go to this website, and look at the projects under Mr. Pete. Here is the website. myheap.com

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. This is very interesting.

[@mrpete222]

🤙

[@bossecarlberg]

Thanks very mouth for the lesson how to make thread i am not have a Atlas lathe but i cod see how it works

[@mrpete222]

+Bosse Carlberg Thanks for watching

[@bernardstoddart2532]

Good day could you possibly have gear selection chart for the colchester master mk1

[@mrpete222]

No

[@williecuellar3627]

Thank you for explaining this...

[@toddlfrank]

Nice job explaining

[@mrpete222]

+toddlfrank Thanks for watching

[@garryboychuk6822]

Mr. Pete. I have a question that is not covered anywhere that I can find an answer. On all of those Change Gears I notice on my lathe that for example one side of the gear would show a 24 (for instance) and the other side is labelled 24A Can you enlighten me? The gears appear top be symetrical.

[@mrpete222]

Probably a pattern number

[@georgespangler1517]

I just bought a 109 and 101 , both 6 inch,, how many change gears should they have,,,?

[@SPIKE-xr2fu]

Great video Do you have any info on a south bend 9 gear change I am a new newbie machinist Thanks

[@mrpete222]

look in the south bend book--its there

[@73superglide62]

pete y did they key way the hole shaft

[@anoger]

Dame that sound!

[@mrpete222]

+anoger ??

[@anoger]

hehe the sound of gears grindig on each other in the beggining of the video. ther is a over tune that is amplified when im watching the video. The love of old machinery :)

[@shelby50411]

Question....i would assume the gears should be greased....doesnt that make changing gears for threading a very messy task every time?

[@mrpete222]

Very messy

[@AnwarAlfaqeehAlhusseini]

What sizes of gear we need to therad ? Or how many gear in the set for thread ? Thanks

[@ElCid452]

If you were to make a screw for a pocket watch, at 360tpi. what would be the gear setting?

[@shootgp]

+ElCid452 360 TPI? is that a joke or type-o? lol

[@ElCid452]

+shootgp No joke nor a type o'. American Machinist Handbook vol.#7, pg.190/191, Elgin/Waltham watch screws.

[@shootgp]

+ElCid452 I don't have the book, but there must be a type-o. 36 TPI is a very fine screw. 360 tpi is a smooth cylinder. The Atlas lathe is not ideal for making watch components - there are specialized watch/jeweler lathes for that. If 36 TPI is what you're actually looking for, I'll dig-out my manuals and try to explain the correct gear orientation to you (which gear and wear).

[@ElCid452]

shootgp Thank you. My book has the tap/dies list, but not how to cut them.

[@shootgp]

+ElCid452 The gear bracket, or banjo as Mr. Pete calls it, varies between lathe versions. The only gear charts I can find are for my specific lathe, a side view looks like someone is pointing with their fingers hanging. Is this what you have, or do you have the three slots as shown in this video?

[@kevCarrico]

ah-haa... so THAT'S why the key way runs the entire length -- automatic cross feed -- BRILLIANT!

[@mrpete222]

+KevCarrico Thanks for watching

[@ericcorse]

Thank you sir a great help.

[@mrpete222]

+Eric Corse Thanks for watching

[@73superglide62]

how do decide term and between 6 -10

[@bradley3549]

You mentioned that you must have a thread dial in order to thread - not entirely true. You can just have to run the carriage forward and back without disengaging the gearbox. Takes much longer but can be done.

[@mrpete222]

+Bradley Weingartner Thanks for watching--very true

[@augustinjacob2042]

Sir I have enterprise machine model number 15 50 please give me picture changing gear side I don't have gear please help me

[@mrpete222]

I do not have that kind of machine

[@msandford9898]

You should really consider mentioning that the gear change is usually a very messy and greasy job. If you don't have grease under your fingernails then you must have a QC box.
