Craftsman Lathe

[dave.williams@chaos.lrk.ar.us (Dave Williams)]

-> I have looked at several small lathes and have found a Craftsman 12"
-> x 36" with a three and four jaw chucks, quick change gear box and
-> misc tooling included. Price is about $1300.

 That's a fair price.  Not an outstanding price, but fair.


-> Has anyone had any experience with the Craftsman lathes?  How's the
-> price? Any alternative suggestions?

 The majority of Craftsman lathes were made by Atlas, which is out of
business, but parts are still available through Clausing.
