Personally I'd go with used 'industrial' one but that's me.


I wanted a good old atlas, South bend, lebond, or clausing in the worst way as I know they are better machines. But everything I found was either too far away, completely wore out or just plain huge. That's why I ended up with the grizzly.

That said, for a farm shop they are more than adequate unless a guy was/is a professional machinist.

I use my atlas...... its old, its simple and has no transmission and uses change gears. but I woudnt go looking for one.There are much better lathes and parts for the atlas is about as obsolete as can be for anything made out of zamack pot metals and aluminum.
