- Everything you need to get started with your Atlas/Craftsman 6" lathe

This package contains all the tooling you need to be productive with your Atlas/Craftsman 6" lathe on the first day you own it.
The A2Z CNC quick change tool post set (QCTP) includes the tool post, mounting hardware, two turning tool holders, a boring tool holder and a cut-off blade holder. The quick change tool post is made from 6061 T6 aluminum which is hard anodized for durability and appearance. No tools are required to change tools. Additional tool holders are available.
The turning tool holders accept tools with 1/4" to 1/2" shank. The boring tool holder accepts boring bars with up to 3/8" round shanks. The cut-off tool holder holds 1/2" tall parting blades.
The 1/2" capacity drill chuck is mounted on a1 Morse taper shank for the Atlas/Craftsman 6" lathe. The rated capacity of the drill chuck is 1 mm (0.039") to 13 mm (0.512"). You will have to cut the tank off the drill chuck arbor to suit your tailstock. A Dremel with a cut-off wheel works well to do this.
The set of indexable turning tools includes 5 tools (TAR, TAL, TBR, TBL, TE), inserts, a wrench, and extra screws. It comes in a plastic case. The carbide inserts are TCMM-221.
The carbide tipped 9-piece boring bar set includes three different length boring bars each for minimum bores of 5/16", 3/8", and 7/16". The bore depth ranges from 3/4" to 2-1/4". The heat treated, alloy steel shanks are held to 0.000 to -0.0005" from the nominal diameter.
The P1 parting blade is 1/16" x 1/2" x 4-1/2" and made from M2 HSS. These T-shape parting blades provide great side clearance.
This package includes 4 different sizes of combined drills and countersinks, commonly called center drills. The center drill set is high speed steel and includes sizes 1,2,3,and 4. These are 60 degree center drills. These are the sizes that are most used by bench top machinists.
