hello, I been searching for lathe machines and been looking at a 12x36 craftman lathe but I have also notice that there a few differnt brand names. I am wonder if anyone knows whats the differences between 12x36 Atlas, 12x36 craftsman and a 12x36 craftsman commerical. I wish to know whats the fair price for one of these lathe in good working condition.

@LG6327 These are all the same lathe--some models may not have the gear box. 600 to 800 is a fair price.

I would say its fairly light duty. Remember, everything about an Atlas lathe is light duty compared to heavy duty industrial models.

Thanks for making all the cool, informative videos available to us beginners. I have a question.. I just bought a new old stock, 8" 4 jaw chuck EXACTLY like the one in the video.. Everyone is telling me that due to it's hollow back, it is made specifically for wood and not for metal. Could you please confirm that the chuck in the video is in fact made for a metal ? I even showed them the original Sears catalog from back in the early 70's and they are still not convinced..

[mrpete222]

@doorguru168888 You are right--not them. All 4 jaws are made that way. Imagine how heavy they would be if solid. Also--at the foundry castings must be made fairly thin to reduce shrinkage as the molten iron cools.

Again, another great video! I was trying this out today only using one key. Boy, I spent a lot of time getting things centered. I will make a second key and follow your advice. THANK YOU! You are such a great teacher.

[legatotek]

nice tip for using two keys!

You are a genius. Your videos explain everything perfectly. Many thanks!
