Project of the Month Winner !!!
A friend of mine's dad passed away and left me his old atlas 10" lathe. Its had very little use and was kept in a dry shop and sprayed with oil from time to time. For a 55 year old lathe it looks really good. Everything works and it runs smooth.
The real score though was the tool post grinder it came with. Also included were milling attachment and several unused chucks and 50 pounds of cutter bits from 1/8" to 1/2". I was thrilled to see it had the quick change gears and the 54" bed (36" between centers).
Here is the question, it is cutting a slight taper( .003" in 4", is there a way to align the power head to the bed on this lathe? I have the machine leveled and bolted to the floor and i found no twist to the bed or humps in the bed.
