But like I said area makes a big difference in price normally.įor hobby work an atlas is a great machine! Easier to move around, easier lighter parts to work with, and it doesn't take up an acre of space. It did come with a bench, stead rest, carriage stops, and a coupe chucks and stuff though. I payed $600 for mine and had to buy the qcgb, milling attachment, and other odds and ends. But I would try real real hard to get that price down to around $1300ish. If lathes are rare around your area it could be a good buy with all the attachments and bench. With as clean as the lathe looks I am going to assume it has little wear and is nice and tight. While it is a high price for an atlas there is allot of nice pluses there that would cost up to the asking price if bought separately. I am sure lots of goodies in the drawers and whatnot. Looks to be a milling attachment in the pile under the lathe as well as a tool post grinder possibly. Steady rest in the pic, all original hand knobs which is a great sign! Much bigger motor which is a plus. Quick change gear box is a very nice bit and is worth $500+ by itself if one were to add it on. That looks like a super nice atlas with a few attachments.
