Hey all,
I got one used a while back and am just putting it on a stand and set up. Haven't used a lathe since HS (that's 30+ yrs) so I've got a lot to re-learn. Anyway, I'm interested if anyone here has that model and would be willing to photocopy the manual for me (I'd pay for postage of course). I got a parts breakdown on sears.com, and they have a manual that's around $6, which is fair, but I have a problem when they want $8 to mail it. Maybe I'm being too cheap, I dunno, but that just gets in my craw.
It would also be great if anyone could give me headsups and caveats if they apply to this machine.
The only problem I've had so far is that the tailstock base won't fit into the groove on the bed. I may have to take a file to it, but I'm worried about keeping everything perfectly centered.
Regards, H
