New to me Atlas TH42

Yes. I used 3/4"-10 bolts, the biggest diameter washers I could find and two nuts. One nut is tack welded to the C channel The other is a jam nut to lock it down. I tuned the hex head of the bolt down to a smaller, thinner diameter and drilled the hockey pucks for a 3/4" through hole with a couterbore for the bolt head.

i can see me tripping over those. i think ill make mine out of 2" tube...cut them flush than have the bolt go up in to the tube...usually only need like an inch to level off :p. thank you so much for sharing....love these husky boxes...they are on sale at home depot for 400 right now...going to get another one for my mini mill
 
Actually, if I had it to do over I would have used a Harbor Freight "U.S. General" tool cabinet. They are thicker gauge than the Husky, have nicer slides, and are just really nice for the price in my opinion.
 
actually im not really sure on that.....i tihnk a few years ago they were as good or better than husky...also i have not found a 24 deep one... well the hf in my neighborhood the dindt.
 
 
@minsk Old thread… and you probably found the original chuck by now… I bought a brand new (new old stock) Atlas chuck from these folks:

3 and 4 jaw chucks for bench lathes

6" Atlas original 4 jaw lathe chucks and Bison 5" 3 jaw chucks with 1 1/2 x 8 integral mounts

Price could not be beat…came in its original box and everything….
