I have a stripped compound for atlas 12” in my parts box.

I have a stripped compound for atlas 12” in my parts box.

Will the one off the 12 fit the 10?

Think it would be too tall. About positive it would be. My bad.

Yeah it does look like it’s quite a bit taller.

Do you know the height of it at the t-slot area? The height of the dovetail has to be the same since the both use 10-302 which the part it attaches to.

I have one from a later 12", I can get dimensions later

I think I was eyeballing that possibly? It does look a lot closer to the height of the 10 since it’s more flush with the base. Vs the other one that rises up like an inch.

Overall dimensions are 3-3/16in wide 5-5/8in long. from the bottom of the slide to the top of the t slot is 1-1/2". The depth of the dovetail is 5/16in. The width of the dovetail is 1-1/5in

My old Atlas came to me with a broken and repaired top slide. It was functional, but I eventually replaced it for $45 delivered off eBay. Lots of Atlases get parted out and sold there, might be worth a look.

Some of the measurements seem close. But the t-slot is a whole 1/2” taller. And it’s about 3/4” overall wider but I don’t know as that would matter. Hmm. I might have a bead on another 9-303 for it.

Causing does in fact still have them. But they want a good chunk for it.
