Oct 25, 2017 Barn Find Dunlap Model 101.06242 by: Greg Robart I just found a Dunlap lathe at an estate sale here. Its all there and in pieces now in good condition as I am preparing it for painting and restoration. I need a faceplate for it. I measure and counted threads.

Nov 29, 2014 Disassembly? by: Scott Coursin I inherited a 101.06421 model from my Great Uncle. I was wondering how to get the main shaft to come out of the head stock. I tried to do this, but was afraid to hit it too hard for fear of damage. If you have any advice, I would greatly appreciate it.

Oct 19, 2011 old lathe by: Jeff Summers Your pic of the lathe is alot better looking than mine, most of the blue paint is wore off. I found a manual on Sears website saying it was made in June 1938. I'm still using the original motor. I have put an on/off switchbox beside the lathe to be able to switch it on and off without reaching over the lathe. That seemed dangerous! Having fun turning pens and peppermills.

Aug 28, 2011 101.06242 Lathe by: Jeff Summers I found this lathe was made in 1938. Working strong, made over 200 writing pens out of wood, acrylic, and corian. It is a real workhorse. Having trouble with the bearings freezing up, need to replace these. Need to get carbide tiped knives too.

Aug 08, 2010 Looking for another by: Jordan I have the exact same lathe. I purchased it for $50 two years ago. It is in perfect working order, just needed to add a motor and a belt. I have used it and it works beautifully, not as good as a brand new one, but it is nice to use an antique. I am working on a project right now, and I need to have a longer bed on the lathe, but I can't find anyone who has bed extensions. I was told by an antique dealer not to sell it for less than $900!

Mar 14, 2009 I've got one for sale... by: California Chris Hello, Gentlemen, I've got one for sale (It's got the small metal logo plate that says: Atlas Quality Shop Equipment since 1911, Atlas Press Co. Kalamazoo, Mich. U.S.A. - no motor or stand, but it is in excellent condition - just needs a good cleaning/oiling - VERY light surface rust on the runners. I've got no room (typical in this state!) - asking $100. If you are interested, give me a holler @: cbronny@comcast.net I can send some photos - problem obviously would be cost of shipping, but if you are here out West, might be doable. Please feel free to pass this posting on to anyone who you know who might be interested.
