I just purchased an old Craftsman 6"x18" metal lathe model 101.21200

I need a copy of the manual - can anyone tell me where I can get one? I just missed an auction for one on eBay - had to work late - now I don't know if I'll see another for a while. This is my first lathe and I would like to get it up and running, but I want to make sure I do it right...

Thanks for the help,
Jay

You can get one from http://www.lathes.co.uk/manuals/ but if you're patient
you may find one quite a bit cheaper on eBay. You can also get more info on
the same site:

http://www.lathes.co.uk/craftsman/page5.html

That lathe was made by Atlas and I've heard that Clausing has parts and
manuals available but I don't have contact info for them.

Probably your best source for help and info though is the Yahoo group:

If you go to the following URL, and are willing to pay $14.95 USD (plus shipping I'm sure), Sears will probably send you one. Hope this helps.
