What's the step pulley go to & does it have Timken bearings? I'd guess $500 with all the extras. I have the same one with Timkin bearing came with the steady 2 chucks & a face plate I paid $148 about when I joined joined the forum & have had more fun with it than any of the big lathes. -

Its a 6 inch Atlas Lathe, which is also a Craftsman Lathe that Sears sold.
Not sure if it has Timken bearings as it looks like an oiler on the spindle bearing, which would mean bronze bearings
A lathe like that is worth about 200 and if it has Timken, then 300. It should have a label on the headstock that says "Timken"
I think 500 is a fair price for all .

Shipping weight 95# one guy with a decent back can carry just the lathe. http://www.lathes.co.uk/atlas6inch/
http://www.lathes.co.uk/craftsman6inchmk1/ Look at the bottom pic, shows Timkin bearing lathe with oilers but it wall say Timkin as they were pround of that fact. It looks like a non Timkin as it looks like it has the splits to replace the bushings.

It has timken bearings as there are no bearing bolts. Price is what someone is willing to pay for it - not a lot of machinery in that neck of the woodsComment

Thank guys, I'm making arrangements to get it.Definition: Boat, a hole in the water you throw money into!Comment

neat, they're cool little lathes. I love mine, though I do wish it was bigger sometimes.
When I lived in SE WA (not that far from you) I saw a couple of very well tooled 618s on CL for $750-1000. Crazy money in my opinion, but there's not a lot of choice out there. I paid $250 for mine with a washing machine motor, a Buck 3 jaw and an old and bust up Atlas 4 jaw (replaced with a Bison) and a live center. So $3-400 is a perfectly reasonable price for what you're looking at, if not a bit more given the tooling/ other stuff.Comment

maybe 70 lb, or a bit more...... that, or I am stronger than I thought. They are quite light machines.Originally posted by fastfire View PostCNC machines only go through the motions.

I can pick mine up on its heavy wooden base, but it's heavy enough that I have to be careful to lift it properly. They're stout little lathes for their size and weight, great to learn on too.Comment

I got the lathe home , no Timken bearing label and it has 4" chucks. I'll have picks later.Definition: Boat, a hole in the water you throw money into!Comment
