1930s Atlas Lathe Restoration

I'm extremely excided to present you guys with the restoration of this Atlas / Craftsman lathe from 1937. This is one of the earliest models of these 12'' swing atlas lathes, and bringing it back to life was a real pleasure. Restoring this lathe was hands down one of the most gratifying projects I took on this year! 🛢Lubrication & Oilers: Pump Oiler - https://amzn.to/3dnp937 Spring Bottom Oiler - https://amzn.to/33TjKNU Ways Oil - https://amzn.to/3jWFEFJ 20WT Home Depot - https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-Syn... 20WT Amazon - https://amzn.to/2SQOFV1 High Temp Gear Grease - https://amzn.to/371cMs7 ⭐AXA Quick Change Tool Post - https://amzn.to/3dB9rS9 Traverse Gear Case Assembly PDF - https://www.dropbox.com/s/2g89utgzg56...
