RECONDITIONING ATLAS 618 SCROLL CHUCK #999 tubalcain pt 6

As you say they should be taken apart and cleaned from time to time or if you have been making a lot of chips or boring. Never hurts to clean and lub up to keep things in good service!

Love it thanks again Mike from AK

Nice job Pete!

I've rebuilt two 618's. I gave the first to my dad. I remember how Clausing still had some replacement parts at the time because the internet was yet to make the hunting of parts easier.
Thanks, Mr Pete!

Thanks MrPete!!

Number 999! WOW! When you first reviewed that chuck you were almost convinced that it was going to the scrap heap. Now, it's back in action and ready tor the staring role in video 1000!
As always, another educational and entertaining video from the Shop Teacher of Shop Teachers.

😀 Thank You

Thanks for the lessons.

😀😀😀😀😀

Enjoyed!

Very helpful, thanks.

😊😊😊😊😊

Thanks for the info! Now I need to make time to do this with my 618 lathe!😊

I'm a 618 owner so these videos are of GREAT interest to me. 😀

Thank you Mr. Pete!

🙏🏿

Thank you 😊

I'll do that with my three chucks as soon as I get some fitting wrenches so I won't mess up 80 years old bolts. I'm used to mm after all. Owning a well-maintained lathe from the 40s feels like a responsibility. I wanna treat it well (comment duty). Would I like to know this lathe's full story.

Helped me to clean my 3 jaw chuck South Bend 701! Thanks again!

A warning about hammering on the screws. I opened up a rusty one earlier today and wound up damaging the threads on the screws and chuck. Mine has flat blade screws instead of the allens yours has. I was able to clean up the threads in the chuck, not sure what I'll do with the screws. Mine was much more stuck so it took much more hammering, but the screws seem to be much softer than I expected for something like this.

Thanks for doing this series on the 618! I have one of these, and these videos will help me get it back in running shape!

Thanks for another bit of information and another chore to do.

Hey Mr Pete, Thanks for the lesson - keep them coming

Great job bring the chuck back to life!

Love the reconstruction

😂

I like Lubriplate No 105 assembly grease. Some sling out but not to bad. 74 just run it slow and keep your YIP - YAP closed up

Thank you

😀

loving the videos keep them coming learning a lot

Mr. Pete, I have learned a wealth of information watching your videos, spent 20 years in the ASME Fab Shop, and 22 years in a Machine and welding Job shop and Still gain skills from your work shops. Thanks for your shared skills.

thanks, nice video

Thank you

Behind in my viewing of this Atlas series. And I have one.

I want that hat.

Thx

3 jaw looks good, definitely needed the ol Tubalcain rust removal treatment. I noticed when you were polishing the perimeter you didn't have a cloth down to catch the grit, you noticed it too it seems. Lol.

Definitely have the endurance to watch your videos for hours. I discovered your videos 2 years ago and have finally caught up close to your current release after starting at tips #1 and watching each one.

You could also be using the wife's clean toothbrush to apply oil, it makes it easy to brush into the crevices and internal casting features. Give it a try Tubalcain.

The Atlas is looking pretty sharp!

Awesome!

:)

I have been edified and enlightened once again.
The sharing of your machine shop skills and knowledge is greatly appreciated, thank you.
