I really like it alot! I just bought one, same as yours, and am going to restore it. Came with 3-jaw and 4-jaw chucks. I like those nylon gears too. I've had a complete set of change gears for over 10 years so they will come in handy. Very nice job you've done and it's "SO" quiet! Thanks for sharing.

I just bought one, still exploring all the types of attachment and trying to learn the machine i was told the spindle thread is 1x 8tpi?

Wow great job restoring it. It runs so smooth and quiet! One of these followed me home but it needs a complete restoration.

I have a chance to buy one of these, is 300 bucks a decent deal? Has 3 & 4 jaw chuck and some old time tooling no change gears tho. Seems to be in decent shape, just needs cleaned up and painted

If you like to restore stuff, these lathes are fantastic projects - and you generally end up with a cool usable tool - $300 is probably reasonable. I paid more for this (over paid really), and I had to replace several things from bearing bushings to eccentrics and 1/2 nuts. But it was fun.

Where did ya find all the parts? I have the same, and I just "finished" refurbishing it. The dials alone are 50$ each.

Being totally new to a Craftsman lathe 101, which I inherited, I was hoping to learn how to use it. You're showing a number of steps and features, but not explaining anything. I'm left disappointed. But for those who are familiar with lathes, I suspect your presentation was useful. Thank you, nonetheless for taking the time to make a video.

Hey someone commented on my video - cool - Ron - note that the small radius nylon gears did not hold up well. The larger gears are doing ok for my use, but realistically, metal gears are the way to go.

@Fatopaco, the headstock’s spindle has to be removed

Just buy a link belt,, so much easier and the lathe will run smoother
