Atlas 6 inch saved from scrapper - Bill Gruby - 07-23-2012
I really don't need another project but this little Atlas 6 inch needed a home. It almost made it onto the truck. I told Bob at Master machine to put it in my trunk. It is salvageable. It was also Free, two good reasons to save it.

Nice find and good price.
I don't think I could let something like that get sent to the scrap yard if I could help it.

It would have been a great shame to see it scrapped
For the price you could not go wrong

I don't like to see nice old stuff scrapped - I think you have done it a great service.
Does look like a lot of work

1 hour and 10 minutes Dave and the top of the bed is home free.

Thank-you,I really needed to see the flat ways Ed. More times than not the owner has used the bed as an anvil. If it was badly pitted or dinged there is one on ebay now. This one is in great shape for its age. Tomorrow I strip the paintl

A good small lathe used within their limits,, and if you've watched the prices these things really hold their value.
