DIYbanter - Craftsman 15" Variable speed maintenance

A short while ago someone asked for information on removing the main
spring from this lathe. I have just finished and included a section on
my website describing some problems and maintenance issues related to
the Craftsman 15" variable speed lathe. It includes complete tear down
photos and a section on how to replace the main drive belt for a lot
less than Sears wants for the belt.

As stated on the page, these techniques work for me and the lathe has
never run better. Your mileage may vary, of course.

The page url is " . Follow
the english side (sorry but I don't have time to translate to French
right now), look under Craftsman Heartache.
