What kind of trades would you consider? I would love to have it, I would offer your pick from my gun collection, but I am rather attached to the majority of them. I do have a 10-22 with a muzzlelite bullpup setup and a s&w stainless 357-cant remember model- that I am not very attached to if interested

 

[derf]

I have enough 10-22s but a good .357 is always good to have. You have any pics?

 

[edman87k5]

I will have to get some. It is a model 681. From what I understand it was designed as a police carry gun, mine was not carried that I know of. I cannot remember what the finish is called, but it looks like stainless that has been sandblasted. I will get you some pics of it.
L frame, 4"- I think- barrel
aftermarket wood grip

I think the finish is called satin, but I have seen others get the same effect by sandblasting a shiny stainless piece.
It is in rather nice shape and does not appear to have been fired much at all.

Forgot to ask, what is the max size raw stock this machine will accept?

Pics.
It needs a good cleanup and some TLC. I got this thing a while back and gave it to my father. He recently found a deal on two other Atlas lathes so he gave me this one back. It runs OK. The plastic cover is cracked. The motor shaft sticks out a little too far, it interferes with the cover. The back gears work. The forward/reverse tumbler lever was broken and repaired.
The lathe is listed as 6X18 but while 6" diameter stock might fit, you can't get a tool in working position with diameters approaching maximum.

Is that the only chuck you have ?
Do you know the run out on it ?
Whats the Diam. thrue the head stock ?

 

[edman87k5]

I like it, should work fine for the playing I want it for, even though I have no real use for it.
Let me know if interested in the trade

Only chuck, yes.
Runout, unknown, but chuck is 4 jaw indy so workpiece runout can be adjusted.
17/32" Thru hole.
