Tooling Package, Atlas/Craftsman 6" Lathe, 1MT

This lathe tooling package contains all the tooling you need to be productive with your Atlas/Craftsman 6" lathe on the first day you own it. It contains the appropriate t-slot nut and other hardware for your Atlas/Craftsman 6" lathe.

The quick-change tool post set (3048) includes the tool post, mounting hardware, and five tool holders. The tool post is a wedge-type made of all steel. No tools are required to change tools. Additional tool holders are available. This set includes the following tool holders:

• 2 - #1 Turning and Facing
• 1 - #2 Boring, Turning and Facing
• 1 - #4 Heavy Duty Boring will hold both 3/8" and 1/2" boring bars
• 1 - #7 Universal Parting Blade for 1/2" cut-off blade - 4°

Turning tool holders accept tools with 1/4" to 1/2" shank. The boring tool holder accepts boring bars with up to 3/8" round shanks. The cut-off tool holder holds 1/2" tall parting blades.

The 1/2" capacity drill chuck (1212) is mounted on a 1 Morse taper arbor (1894) for the Atlas/Craftsman 6" lathe. The rated capacity of the drill chuck is 1mm to 13mm. You will have to cut the tang off the drill chuck arbor to suit your tailstock. A Dremel with a cut-off wheel works well to do this.

The set of indexable turning tools (1669) includes 5 tools (TAR, TAL, TBR, TBL, TE), inserts, a wrench, and extra screws. It comes in a wooden case. The carbide inserts are TCMT21.51.

The carbide tipped 9-piece boring bar set (1246) includes 3 different length boring bars each for minimum bores of 5/16", 3/8", and 7/16". The bore depth ranges from 3/4" to 2-1/4". The heat treated, alloy steel shanks are held to 0.000 to -0.0005" from the nominal diameter.

The P1 parting blade (1930) is 1/16" x 1/2" x 4-1/2" and made from M2 HSS. These T-shape parting blades provide great side clearance.

This lathe tooling package includes 4 different sizes of combined drills and countersinks - Center Drills (2990). The HSS center drill set includes sizes 1, 2, 3, and 4. These are 60° center drills; the sizes that are most used by bench top machinists.

To complete the kit, a T-slot nut, specifically designed to mount a quick change tool post to the Atlas/Craftsman lathe is included (5571).
