- This video describes the assembly of the counter shaft of the Atlas 10F Lathe. I discuss my bearing replacement choice and give recognition to some folks that help me along the way.
I found your lathe videos and love them i just got the same lathe it was my father in laws then my brother in law had it and after he passed i got it. I will be tearing it down next week and your videos have already taught me a lot. Thanks
Bill, I am glad the lathe videos help. I know that I have had plenty of fun producing them and learning to use the machine. I am still a novice, but it is exciting nonetheless. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

Thanks Joe I'll most likely be asking a few questions in the future, hope that is OK, I'm very excited to rebuild this lathe and start using it.
I like that railing with the finials. I made my front railing 40 yrs ago--yours is better.
Good video instructions on the bearing installation. Great idea on the zerks--usuall people put in the sealed bearings.
Thank you Mr. Pete. When I first made the posts, I used 1.5" balls and after they were ground just looked a little too small. I have never seen them made like this, but I figured if they looked too bad, I could cut them off and put traditional caps on the.

Glad to see the lathe coming back together. The loctite retaining compound it good for up to about a .005 slip fit, you will have no problems. Heat from a propane torch will break the bond if you ever need to get them out again. Nice railings :)
Thanks Rich. The new bearings definitely made the counter shaft a lot more quiet. The railings did turn out pretty good. I am pleased with them and my wife approves. So you you know she is the final arbiter on that project. A little more grinding and some touch up painting and they will be done. Just holding out for a day that is cooler than the mid 90's.

Our tropical storm that is going directly over me today cooled things down a bunch today. Yes, the railings are sharp...its amazing how many feet of material it actually takes to do a small project.....adds up quick!
Hi Joe, Just picked up the same Atlas lathe from an estate sale. It's in pretty good shape but need attention, your videos are going to be helpful. Thanks for sharing.
I am glad to be of help in some small way. Thank you.

That motor pully lever at 16:10 seems to be made to cam into a flat to keep the belt tensioned. On my Atlas, it doesn't go far enough to lock into place, it just flops forward / backward, so my pully belt is always loose.
What am I not seeing?
If you have the stand, then the bottom casting of the motor mount has a bolt that will allow the countershaft to be adjusted fore and aft. If you are bench mounted, then you may have to reposition the motor countershaft casting. If you join the atlas group you can get the countershaft docs. If you run into a snag, let me know.

I would have put shims,
I am also a computer geek i run Linux Mint on all my pcs
Awesome. I run mostly Ubuntu and some mint and freebsd. Use pfSense and FreeNAS at home. These run on freebsd, and have proven themselves to be excellent solutions.
@@MyHeap I switched from red hat when they went corporate on me I use kali for testing Ubuntu seems to work fine on my small server i do run windows on a VM for some apps like my solid works
@@joeduda8507 I use Linux almost exclusively but I don't think I will ever be out of windows. I use it for cnc toolpaths and a few other things.
@@MyHeap till they make a good emulator we are stuck wine is not the answer
