    Hello,

    I,m A retired auto mechanic/teacher and permanent learner of DIY. Just checking out the site to see what you have. Always looking for good ideas on lathe reconditioning tips and tools. Got my hands on an old worn out 1947 10-F Atlas lathe. It is a TH54" partly stripped and some parts missing, but still repairable. Need to make tools & parts as these are not easy to come by in South Africa.

    The lathe sounds like an excellent project! What tools and parts do you have to make for it?

    Hi themstones,

    Welcome!

    It's always good to hear that someone is taking the time and trouble to resurrect an old survivor of a tool. Let's see some pics of the project…
