Atlas Lathe Dials Large

thingiverse

These are replacement lathe dials for the Atlas lathe. They can be printed to produce larger higher contrast dials than came stock with the lathe. A raised text and embossed text version are available. The embossed version can be filled with silicone caulking to provide high contrast markings (same as the atlas micrometer stop dial linked as a source). Additionally 100 thou and 200 thou versions are provided to make the cross slide read single or double depth. Thanks to Lyle Peterson (mrpete222) for the push to make these as well as the photo of the finished dial. Here are links to his youtube videos detailing installation as well as an adaptor he made to make the witness mark align with the OD of the dial. https://youtu.be/NF554Jrok_w https://youtu.be/1LXigsea9dg Note that these dials will not fit all models of Atlas lathe. Please look at the dial measurements to ensure it will fit your lathe. This dial will not fit the older series atlas with 1/2" diameter dials. The dials have a small register on the side not shown in the drawing. It will be necessary to flip the dial such that the number and graduations face up for this register to print properly. The test part included is a small portion of the dial which may be useful if you wish to experiment with filling the markings.
