I'll let the "Craftsman" experts answer your question on the lathe, but
I WILL BET YOU that the tools are carbon steel, not HSS, in MHO JUNK!

It would help if you gave us a physical description of the lathe. Most of
us have seen the various Craftsman models, but few remember the model
numbers by heart.

I don't know much about lathes. This model dates from 1989 according to
Sears. It takes 36" length and up to 12" diameter. Speed is changed by
moving the belt on different pulleys. It seems pretty rugged.

As I said, at $200 Canadian it might be to good to pass up even though I am
racking my brains on where to put it if I get it.
