Hi Everyone,

In a fit of stupidity I dropped the tailstock of my 9" craftsman lathe and
broke the handwheel. From the research I have been able to do, it appears to
be this 1935-36 model. The only difference is mine says 9" next to the
Craftsman logo.



I was wondering if anyone knows where I could find a replacement wheel or
have the specs so I can have one made. Additionally if anyone has a model
number or something (there isn't one on the lathe).


Thanks,

Steve

You may find someone there with a parts lathe or a spare wheel.

Tips fer Turnin': Place a sign, easily seen as you switch on your lathe, warning you to remove any and all rings from your fingers. Called degloving, extended hardware can grab your ring and rip it off your finger. A pic for the strong of stomach: www.itim.nsw.gov.au/go/objectid/2A3AC703-1321-1C29-70B067DC88E16BFC/index.cfm

Besides, rings can easily mar the surface of a turning as you check for finished smoothness.
