ATLAS LATHE H54 10F-28 REVIEW

- We have a ATLAS LATHE H54 10F 28 for review.
How exciting is that? We know we are excited to have this lathe in our garage machine shop.
We would love a Monarch lathe or Cincinnati lathe. A Clausing Colchester or Leblonde lathe would do. But for now we are excited to have this lathe by Atlas Press Company in our shop.

This is very cool, opening is excellent.
Thank you! We gave it our best on this one!

I own several lathes including a modern geared-head Emco... But for some reason, I always enjoy my worn-out 10" Atlas the best... I think it's great that folks have such a passion for these old machines.
They are really neat. Thanks for stopping by.

I've got a QC-42 (with the quick change gear assembly) which is a 10" November 1950 lathe. I've also got a 9" horizontal 36" from 1940. It was being sold at an estate from the original owner. He bought it, went to war (WWII) and returned to use it again. I've got the original bill of sale. Really cool.
The real impressive part about these old machines....the craftsmanship in using these lesser machines to make better more accurate machines makes me shake my head in amazement.
A machine that rebuilds itself...kind of scary. I love when I get opportunity to tinker on this machine. Thanks for watching!
-Will
I have 2 12 x 54 inche atlas lathes the last was on a cast iron stand and casters and I have forks for my backhoe it went in my garage, but the second no stand I took it completely apart and carried it in my shop in peaces, both have quick change gear boxes that add another 25 lbs,,,both are timken bearing lathes and l have bought 3 6 inch 618 atlas lathes also and a 109,,,l love the atlas lathes. And people realize vintage lathes are the best way to a lathe now as prices rise, l have one 618 that's never been used on display,,, and have almost every attachment for both the 6 and 12 inch with tons of tooling. And have taken them all apart and restored them to like new conditions.
Wow! That's quite the collection. Must be a magnificent sight. These old machines are great. They sure don't build them like they used too. Thanks for stopping by. Email me some pics. I'd love to see your collection. debtfreehomesteaders@gmail.com

This machine is a lucky find at a very lucky price! Do take the Time to give it at LEAST a complete take down and cleanup and rebuild!!! BUT you guys SHOULD DO a full Restore on this kind of a machine, Your son will learn a lot from it (you might too😉) and you will safe the Atlas in the long run. Lots help online! Good Luck.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I hope we can give this machine a new life. Thanks for watching.

Nice lathe and nice video! 10F-28 is just the part number for the door. While the 10F lathes do all have power cross feed, that’s not actually what the F stands for. It was just used to designate the latest model. There was a 10D model just before the 10F.
Excellent. Good to dig up so more history on this fun machine. Thanks for watching!
-Will
Nice video. I learned a lot about my lathe. I am 17 and recently purchased an atlas th 54. And I really enjoy it. Mine came with a quick change tool post. I would definitely recommend one.
I have been thinking about getting a quick change tool post as well. That is awesome that you are 17 and own a lathe just like my 16 year old son owns this one. Keep learning. Keep making!
-Will
👏👏👏 great video! excited for more to come!
Thank you! Now where did I put my camera.....
-Will
Great to see another H54. Just beginning to work on mine, so I really appreciate the opportunity to learn more. MrPete222 has an Atlas Lathe training video set for sale which is excellent. Looking forward to your future videos on the Atlas.
Awesome. We look forward to it as well. Thanks for watching!
-Will
Great video Will. Nice lathe too!
Thank you Tim! The Atlas lathe is a fun tool to be learning with my son.
-Will
Great find. you'll enjoy restoring it and using it. I did mine..
That's the plan! I love making stuff! Thanks for watching!
-Will
Yes, I just did the same thing as well... These older Atlas lathes for the money just completely destroy the shit out of all the new Chinese lathes, no comparison...
Hope you got it up to your standards, I'm sure she won't let you down..I have mine tuned to 0 tolerance(original Timken bearings) incase you wonder
Excellent! I wonder if we could convert from babbit to timken bearings?
-Will
I took off everything I could on my 12 inch atlas and still had too drag it in with a dead man chain hoist,,,took it all apart down to last bolt cleaned and oiled,,,stripped off all the paint and polished it until it shined..have 3 now,,, 12 inch the 618 and 109,,,love my lathes.
That is really cool. I hope my son and I will find the time to restore his. Thanks for watching and sharing your story.
-Will
What a great way to make memories! Cool stuff Will... Can’t wait to see you guys in action.
Thank you George! We're excited!
-Will
10F-28 is the part number for that part. Just about every cast part has the part number cast into it. It really helps when looking on eBay and people have parts misidentified; you can swoop down and buy them before other people realize what it is. OOPS....just gave away a secret!
wow..... great editing.....the footage of the new toy is awesome....come on get to work!
Thanks Roomie this was a really fun video to make took a long time but I learned a lot. Thanks !
Very nice, Will!
Thanks for stopping by...!
-Will
Audio is really good.
Awesome! That's what I want we are going for..Thanks for watching!
-Will
Nice video Will. Your editing skills continue to improve. It'll be interesting to see what you and your son make with the lathe.
Thank you Aaron. Day by day.
I am in the process or purchasing a very similar possibly identical lathe. This will be my second old lathe the first being a much larger machine. Let me second what vancroft13 said. The best thing you can do is clean it. My Sidney cone head had so much swarf in the apron that it was totally jammed, One should never use compressed air to clear chips on these old machines. Too many open gears.
I agree on the compressed air. There is still more cleaning to do on this one as well. So fun to play and learn with my son on this machine. Thanks for watching!
-Will
I’m looking at a TH54 right now. However, it just comes with basic tooling and no gears. The gentleman has sent me videos of it running and it’s very clean. Sounds very much like yours.
I’m not asking what you paid but this gentleman is asking $ 1200. Is that in the ballpark?
I’m new to hobby milling and something keeps bringing me back to this machine.
Thanks for any help
Sorry the late reply. If it is clean and pending on what tooling comes with it $1000 sounds fair to me. Thanks for watching. Let me know how it turns out.
-Will
Yes, you’ll find it’s 28 inches between centers. I’ve had this same model for nearly 40 years.
Awesome! 40 years! Wow! Are you still using it?
-Will
Looks like your 10 inch was put on a 12 inch bed,,, the 28 is between centers and the 10 inch was 28 and 12 inch 36..
Interesting thought. You might be on to something. hmmmm
Thanks for watching!
-Will
28” between centers.
I have an H54 and it is also 10x36.
I also have an Atlas 10f-28 but it’s an H36.
I have an H36. Do you know what years they were made?
You might be able to look it up by serial #. Look around this website. Maybe it will give you some leads. Good luck!

You'll need mics and callipers plus rules and other tools
