Just bought a Craftsman lathe - now I need a manual BADLY!
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 |

Atlas/Clausing still sells reprints of the manuals -- possibly at less than your eBay auction. Call Clausing Service Center (574) 533-0371 and have the model number and serial number of your lathe available. They'll put together a manual to fit your particular version.

All lathes of that type are very similar. Most don't have
repair/replacement parts available. Save yourself some money and get a good generic lathe operation manual printed for trade school use. They are very common in used book stores. You can learn everything you need from it, and if you have a specific question, there are several dozen very knowledgeable guys on this board who will overwhelm you with good advice.G Bugs |

Maybe I won't, since your email address is invalid. You can download that manual at http://f3.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/AM1KQp4...8%20manual.pdf or maybe http://tinyurl.com/6t33e This is in the files section of the Atlas 618 Yahoo group. You will be required to join the group to access it. Or send me an email with a valid address and I'll send you the file. -- - - Rex Burkheimer Fort Worth TX |

The manual wont show too much- better to buy a copy of "How to run a
Lathe" http://dogbert.abebooks.com/servlet/...n+a+lathe&x=63 this is the standard book people have been using since before the second world war- small, cheap, and will get you started with all the basic info. |
