Default Sears Lathe Question

Hi Len,

I believe this pre-dates Craftsman. It doesn't have the Craftsman
label. It only has the old Sears label. The only model number on it
is 28955.

Thanks.


If it's that old, I suspect it may have actually been made by Emerson
for Sears.

Emerson now makes the 'Rigid' line for Home Depot, so you might want to
take a look at the manual for the Rigid Model 14773 lathe to see if it's
close enough. Click on the "book" just about the picture at
http://www.ridgid.com/Tools/WL1200-Wood-Lathe/ to access the owners
manual.

If that's not it, try looking for a Emerson lathe manual instead of
Sears.
