Description

A group dedicated to owners of the Atlas (and Sears Craftsman 101) 618 lathe and the newer Mark 2 lathe. Your questions, tips, comments, and lathe and project photographs are welcomed.

This group discusses many issues which are common to all small lathe users, so don't let the specialization in Atlas/Craftsman 6 inches lathes deter you from joining us if you have some other brand of small lathe.
