Help with Craftsman 15" lathe
I thought I was getting a good deal on a used 15" craftsman lathe but it
turns out the drive belt was slipping and in tatters. I removed the belt (cut it) and the gear underneath (connected to the motor shaft) is cracked and wobbles on the motor shaft. Has anyone had this problem? The Sears service center will not accept it for repair and a house call by their technicians is a bit expensive. The folks at Sears have taken customer service and job knowledge to a new low. I couldn't even talk to a technician that knew what a lathe is or does. I'm not convinced it would be worth the house call to get the fix. James |
