Purchasing Atlas parts from Clausing

[Atlas2start]

I finally made the call to Clausing about purchasing parts for some of my Atlas tools. I will not post prices, unless an Admin tells me that I can. Here is what I was able to purchase.

For an Atlas 10F lathe.
The rack for a 54" lathe bed.
The clamp piece that holds the tailstock to the rail.
A pair of split nuts.
The square switch plate cover.

For my 10-450 tool post grinder, I was able to purchase the wheel guard assembly.

What they no longer carried.
Back gear wrench
Crank handle
various other wrenches
The Feed Lever with handle for my MHB mill
The oval switch plate cover found on the 7b shaper.
The Shaper index center indexing plates.

I was not surprised that they did not carry the wrenches or the crank handle, but figured it was worth a shot. On the other hand, I was very surprised that they carried the rack for a 54" lathe and the wheel guard assembly for the tool post grinder.

AFAIK, Atlas did not make any of the wrenches or tool holders. Most of them can still be bought from the OEM. You may post the prices if you wish. However, comments on the prices should probably be avoided. The prices probably reflect typical USA made prices for similar parts today rather than what you may have seen in pre-war catalogs!

As far as not having any of the crank handles, I think that even years ago, although the handles did have a separate part number, they came with the crank or handwheel.

I think the only prices that most folks would be interested in are for the
Split nuts - $32.94 per pair
Square switch plate - $6.99

I am not sure about shipping costs. They had no problem shipping to me, since I live in Michigan, but I don't know if they have issues shipping further away.

The only state that has been mentioned as unable for a resident to buy direct from Clausing is California. Some sort of sales tax issue.
