We bought the 15" lathe in november and really enjoyed it.
In early march the motor went out. Sears sent a tech out and ordered the
new motor. it has been backordered so many times that they called last
thursday and said it will be in june some time.
The local sears wouldnt take it back so we called the corporate sears and
they agreed to take it back.

we put the money in the 2 hp jet 1642 and really love it.

Has anyone had a chance to usethe Craftsman 15 in. Lathe, Bench Top,
Variable Speed?

I just burned up the motor in my Harbor Freight 12x36" VS Lathe because my
turning got more serious and the lathe didn't.

I'm also curious if anyone knows the specs on the head and tailstock
fittings. I'm hoping I don't have to retool too much since everything I
have is either 1-8TPI or 2MT.

I thought I would check out your opinions if you have any before I sink
any
money into the Craftsman.
