So we cannot exactly price old used Atlas, not exactly great quality lathe at over $2000.
Heck if you look around hard you can get NEW 12x24 Chinese without QCGB but change gears for around $2500 plus taxes. You can get used 12x36 newer model for $3000. Why $2000? Well you can get used much newer 14x40 for under $4000. Nice QC tool post - say Aloris (not a clone) with 10 tool holders would bust the price a lot. What could bust the price is the quality of chucks - for example if they are nice brand name chucks. BTW you can get used reamers in common sizes for usually about $1-$2 USD up to say 3/4. Yes it MAY cost a fortune to buy it new - don't go into that trap - just b/c reamer cost $100 plus new doesn't mean its now worth more then a $1 - even in usable condition. Seller cancelled the sale - guess he didn't want to sell hundred plus reamers some new for price of like 3 new. Trust me on eBay I bid on a box of new and used reamers 40lbs worth and I won with $30 USD. Used reamer in size that is odd is worth scrap metal price - i.e. New reamer in size that you need is worth $$$. I rather have $200 then that milling attachment - but I have milling machines for milling.Īs for used tooling you need to provide a list. If you really need to put a price on it then I would not consider it more than $200 if in good condition - preferably if you don't plan on milling on the lathe try to exclude it form the sale or consider it in bonus territory. It is ultra speciality item & good luck selling it. The milling attachment is not really worth much - sure if you felt like finding one and buying one someone may ask $500 for it. With 3 jaw / 4 jaw and face-plate and some tooling I think the lathe if in "average" condition here in AB with some stand would be an OK deal for around. Where are you located? Price in Ontario is at least 20% less then in Alberta. Size 12x36 is perfect for most hobby use. Through I can tell you that unless it includes diamonds 8k is too much.Ītlas lathe is an economy lathe & its old - it is at least 40 years old - lets say 50. Pricing is heavily dependant on machine condition.
Incidentally, MrPete222 on YouTube did a 3 part series on how to assess a used machine before purchase. You might want to insure it for that value but that's different. Even if this is a very late model Atlas, it was still made nearly 40 years ago.
Sure, all new stuff of the same quality and capacity would be a lot of money.
(Are there end mill holders or collets included with the lathe?) You should get a complete list of what comes with the package and assess what it is worth to you.Īs far as the $8k _replacement_ cost, that isn't relevant. I watched a video the other day with a guy just hogging metal off with the milling attachment on his 12 inch Atlas. The milling attachment could cost over $500 CAN if you had to buy it separately. Take the price of just of just one reamer, for example. All the extras you mentioned are certainly worth something. I think the equivalent model number is 101.07403. Sears sold the exact same machines with "Craftsman" badges. This particular model was bench mounted didn't come with the nice steel stand. This is the lathe, right?ġ2" swing, 36" between centres.
