Thursday afternoon I responded to an ad on craigslist advertising an atlas lathe for sale. I went to look at it that evening and found that it was all in pieces. no problem if all of the pieces were there. To my surprise it was an Atlas Clausing 12"x36" lathe. He also had an Atlas horizontal milling machine. I was super excited so I went for it and left a deposit. Friday afternoon I went to pick these up and that was when I got the big surprise. We started loading the parts and pieces and the guy started rummaging through a bunch of stuff. He uncovered the original cast iron lathe stand. Bonus! the mill had its original stand too!
I was super excited by that but then he kept pulling out vises and collet chucks and on and on.
so for a $1000 I cleaned out this guys garage! Super deal super guy!
