Re: craftsman lathe
Other than the chuck key, virtually anything on the table is worth $25 by itself. Not to mention the chuck on the lathe. Though Gene has been clear regarding what it should be used for, which is understandably limited use, this is an absolute steal for someone who wants to fool with bushings, etc., and other small projects. It definitely is a gateway drug to Logans, South Bends, or God Forbid, a Monarch! BEWARE!!

Re: craftsman lathe
Before you know it you will be drooling over a Myford Super 7, thinking you could take the money out of your 401Z or whatever that is and find one some old Englishman bought and never used. Fully tooled, Hand scrap marks still on the ways........................ It is an addiction that creeps up.

Re: craftsman lathe
They are a very nice little lathe, and had a good reputation.
Don't mind the lack of a motor. I would throw out the original motor anyway, and take it to a motor shop and get a variable speed motor installed. Not that much more, and VERY useful.
And this IS a gateway drugs. After using this for a year, you will be flipping through the Grizzly catalogs, looking for something bigger!

Re: craftsman lathe
Stan
as a fan of live steam, and having read nearly every Model Engineer magaine printed from 1965 to 1990, I am acquainted with the Super 7. Not so common here but I understand that they are just a fabulous lathe and absolutely perfectly suited to the work you do. I think you made a great score to get it, especially tooled up as most folks don't realize that buying the lathe is just the start of costs...and one of the least of them. Tooling makes or breaks a lathe's utility, and it often makes or breaks one's wallet.

Re: craftsman lathe
Yeah, I WISH I had a Myford.
John has a like new one he bought a few years ago, some of the attachments are still new in boxes.
I have a Jet 13 x 40, a couple little Chinese ones and four Unimats + a Sherline.

Re: craftsman lathe
I am very grateful to have recently found a barely used Atlas 12 36 lathe from the end of production in 1981. It has the dual belts and motor in the cabinet. It came with many tools and attachments. Now I need to spend a few weeks with you Stan to learn the way! Plus an update of your instrument repair room would be fun. Good health to you man.
Work honestly
Stay true to your word
Get the job done right

Re: craftsman lathe
Thanks Ken.
The instrument repair business is long gone, I still have some inventory and a few tools but I haven't worked on a fiddle for years.
The carb business is much better and virtually no competition, the fiddle reapair schools turn out hundreds of new guys every year who want to do it because they love music, kids, instruments or their daddy set them up with a trust fund and they need something to do.
I gave a lot of my stuff - parts and things if collected - away to a young guy who wants to learn.
I also recently gave away my anvil and my blacksmith tools to a young guy and have given away or sold a lot of my T stuff.
Gave a young guy a couple tractors this summer but was disappointed he didn't want any one cylinder engines.
Different generation than when I grew up.

Re: craftsman lathe
Absolutely a different generation. When I was growing up and in school we hunted, had an old car I tinkered with and drove to school (56 Ford). Had a job on the side and got a little dirty and etc. Most guys I grew up with did most of the same through College.
Nowadays they grow up playing video games, stay on an IPhone and if they get dirty it’s a major disaster. Not all but a Whole lot of them. And yes it’s a different generation.

Re: craftsman lathe
I believe that is a double A products made for Craftsman. That model was my first lathe. If I remember correctly it also has a back gear. My machinist buddy told me to return it and get my money back that I couldn't afford it. 10 years later when we were loding a 14" x 60" 3 faze he said see I told you that you couldn't afford that little lathe didnt I. Deffinatly a gateway drug, kind of like your first model T.
