Around that same time they established a reciprocal relationship with Portable Power Tool Corp. In they purchased the higher-end machine tool maker Clausing Lathe Co. At some point Atlas Press began selling milling machines that were made by I. Johansson Co. By the mids Atlas Press's efforts were increasingly focused on the industrial and commercial metalworking markets. These machines were, and continued to be, a successful lineup for Atlas-Clausing.

In , the Atlas Press Co. There were no less than three distinct incarnations of the G. All were located in Kalamazoo and all were established by Gardner T. The first was in business from to , and primarily made drill grinders; this first incarnation became the Fuller Manufacturing Co.

The second incarnation was created in by Eames and Herbert H. Everard, and this is the incarnation that became Atlas Press Co. The third incarnation was created in to manufacture Eames' improved arbor press, and this one was forced out of business by Atlas Press Co. Register :: Login.

The Atlas Press Co. A year ago the interest of G. Eames was purchased by J. Penniman, secretary and treasurer. The fabrication equipment and processes we use for Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication:. When standard soft tooling methods are not compatible with tolerance requirements, our press department can develop hard tooling to stamp the part to precise requirements.

Each part that goes through the metal fabrication process also goes through a quality inspection to ensure that every single piece of metal is compliant with our ISO quality assurance guidelines.

For your precision sheet metal fabrication needs, give Atlas Manufacturing a call today at May, Metal prices continue to reach unprecedented highs! Steel prices continue to escalate, and material is in short supply. To understand why is complicated and involves supply and demand relationships that are complex. Supply is tight, lead-times are long. Material pricing has doubled in the last 9 months! Service centers convert steel coil material into sized flat blanks, which is what we purchase and convert into parts.

Atlas is a technical converter of steel, aluminum and stainless-steel flat sheet that shapes the metal behind your brand. There are also many foreign producers with China overshadowing all other countries as well. There were massive layoffs and shutdowns to reduce capacity.

Now demand has resurfaced without sufficient supply. The mills have increased pricing and extended lead-times to the service centers. Stainless : Why is the pricing so high and why do most service centers not have it?

There is no foreign stainless to speak of. As the elevation of the tines falls below the elevation of the ground wheels, the motor load on the tines shaft increases. The elevational control assembly includes a notched latch bar extending operatively between the frame and the link plates.

The latch bar is effectively pivotally connected to the link plates, by being rotatively mounted to the ground wheel shaft and is selectively connected to the frame by engagement of one of the notches with a latch pin on the frame.

The frame includes an arm extending rearwardly of the ground wheels, the arm being provided with the latch pin. A latch actuating means provides a means of operating the latch bar and the latch actuating means includes an actuating lever pivotally connected to the handle to provide remote control of the latching action. A shaft 14, constituting a first shaft means, is rotatively mounted to the forward part of the frame 11, said shaft 14 carrying a plurality of tines 15 which constitute a cutting means for performing the tilling operation.

A motor 16 including a gas tank 17 is mounted on the top part of the frame The center of gravity of the motor 16 is substantially fixed relative to the frame The tiller 10 also includes a pair of ground wheels 20 mounted on a shaft 21 constituting a second shaft means. The shaft 21 is operatively mounted to the frame 11 through the medium of a pair of link plates 22, which constitute link means, each of the link plates 22 receiving one end of the shaft The frame 11 includes a pair of sapced side plates 19 to which the link plates 22 are pivotally connected by means of bolts 23 received in corresponding apertures 24 and 25 in the link plates 22 and side plates 19 respectively.

The bolts 23 constitute pivot means connecting the links 22 to said frame Because of this arrangement, the shaft 21 is effectively mounted to the said link plates 22 in spaced radial relation from the pivot means. Thus, said shaft 21 and the ground wheels 20 mounted thereon may be orbited about the pivot bolts As shown in FIGS.

The yoke 28 provides a connector for a rearwardly disposed drag bar generally indicated by numeral 31 which is pivotally attached to the remote end of the yoke by a thumbscrew The thumbscrew 32 may be tightened to control the disposition of the drag bar In addition to providing a mounting for the drag bar 26, the yoke provides a transverse latch pin 34 extending between plates As shown particularly in FIGS. The latch bar 35 includes a latch portion 36, providing a plurality of notches 37 selectively engageable with the latch pin 34, and a cranked portion The latch bar 35 constitutes an adjustment means operatively extending between the frame 11 and the link plates 22 and it is received between the spaced plates 39 to permit engagement of said latch bar notches with said pin In this way the link plates 22 may be held in selective angular positions relative to the pivot bolts 23 whereby to control th relative elevation between the ground wheels 20 and the tines shaft 14 which is mounted to the frame Before a change in elevation can be accomplished the latch bar 35 must be unlatched from the latch pin The unlatching action is performed by rotating the notched latch bar 35 about the ground wheel shaft 21 and the latch bar is rotated by applying a force to the cranked portion 38 which constitutes part of an actuating means.

The cranked portion 38 includes an outstanding pin 39 constituting a first engagement means and in the preferred embodiment of the invention force is applied to the pin 39 by means of an actuating lever The actuating lever 40 is pivotally mounted at its upper end to the tiller handle 12 by means of a lug 41 attached to said tiller handle. At its lower end the lever 40 includes a slot 42, constituting a second engagement means which receives the pin 39 in sliding relation.

Thus, when the operator rotates the lever 40 in countercloclwise direction the latch bar 35 is rotated in a clockwise direction and thereby unlatched. It will be understood that during this unlatching operation the tiller handle 12 can be raised slightly so that the load on the ground wheels is relieved and transferred to the tines temporarily. By pivoting the frame 11 counterclockwise about the tines shaft 11 the latch bar 35 can be moved to a different position and relatched by engaging a different notch 37 with the pin 34 so that the structural disposition of the ground wheels 20 and the tines 15 is changed.

The result of this change is that the spacing of the tines shaft 14 and the ground wheel shaft 21 is increased and the handle 12 is lowered.
