I got this Atlas Model 10100 6" consumer metal lathe for $150 in rusty, unkempt condition. I usually brush on machine paint at work but at home I did verify what I had easy access to was at least Rustoleum alkyd enamel, so I tried straying this time to get the show on the road, I'll show the assembled machine ASAP. Masking (argh!) Sorry it's so dark, I need to load Gimp. (wish I took pics with it fully together but dry and rusty). That ties up the topic question - below is just extra contribution of images and progress, intentions, etc.: Hopefully it was just weird, coagulated, dissimilar grease clots or a hunk of lube-can straw nozzle! Nothing in the pic above, but it does say Does Not Include Pins(?).Īnyway, in the opened-up pics where the two sides are cleaned up ready to screw back together, you don't see any "orange plastic part" missing, do you?

Or maybe an old red oil tube (like on a WD-40 can or Break Free etc.) whose end broke off in there (there is a slot for inserting lube one of those nozzle straws would fit in, actually).īut I couldn't help wondering if it was some kind of old plastic shear pin that was meant to break if someone cranked hard when the carriage was locked or something. Hopefully it's just some kind of gunk that dried up or reacted with multiple greases or lubes and formed a solid.

I don't see anything missing, but the weird thing was when I cleaned out the grease, it was full of bits of, like, orange plastic (?) that was waxy and crumbing apart like peanut brittle.
In short (more below if you're interested), right now I'm just hoping I'm not missing anything in the carriage travel gear assembly: I'm rebuilding a rusty Atlas 10100 (that's what it says, and I think it's essentially the same as Mark 2, 3950, or 101.212 ?)
