Fred,

I'm glad the gibs worked out OK for you. I think that over the next few hours use, they will start to bed in and run a lot smoother, then you will be able to make your final tweaks.

A lot of people put the Atlas down, saying it was cheap, badly built and no good. But in all the time I had mine, it never gave me any cause for concern. In fact, it was with the Atlas that I produced some of my most accurate and best work.

The Atlas model I had was much copied by UK manufacturers after WW2, because it proved it's worth during the war years, even in the hands of unskilled people. Being reliable, easy to use, and v-e-r-y versatile.

Fred

Hi Stew,
I did not think to take the camera with me into the shop. If I can, I will take photos. My shop right now looks like a tornado ripped through it. I don't have a clear horizontal surface on any bench.
Thanks for the banner. :D

Your shop sounds like mine after a few hours, I find that as I go along I use a tool put it down someware:- repeat, repeat, repeat, after a couple of hours I've tools everyware, I've gotten into the habit of tidying the shop up when I first go in, that way I've got the decks stripped for action.

Since joining this forum my camera (ell cheepo kodac digital) has become an every day shop tool, a bit like a spanner.

Have fun
