[QUOTE="Clark, post: 805628, member: 6600"] When a friend died, I got a 1938 Atlas Craftsman lathe 101.07402 12x36 deluxe with Timken tapered roller bearings 1939 tailstock. That lathe has many parts in common with yours [url]http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/222/3442.pdf[/url] [url=http://www.lathes.co.uk/craftsman/page6.html]Craftsman 6-inch Mk2. Lathe[/url] [img]http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx220/ClarkM/3x4mule2009270130grBTdoublelungshot.jpg[/img] I rebarrelled this pre 64 Win M70 to 270 with a Pac Nor feather weight taper barrel in that lathe. I could get enough of the muzzle though the headstock and worked the breech in the steady rest. The lathe is ok for chambering and cutting threads, but it will not remove large amounts of steel quickly. It is not stiff enough and it is not powerful enough. I would not try to make a barrel vise on that lathe. I would not try to work on a bull barrel in that lathe. I would not try to taper a barrel in that lathe. It is not quickchange gears, so to change from Mauser threads [12 TPI] to Remington threads [16 TPI] is 5 or 10 minute of getting my hands dirty. The one really good thing you can say about that lathe is that one man can move it in his car. [/QUOTE]
