Hope you are still around on this forum.
I have been looking for information on very old Craftsman wood lathe and came across pics of yours. Mine looks just like the one in your pictures. No model number. Most parts have part numbers cast into the actual part. Wonder if you can help me with a few issues?
I am looking for:
any manual if it came with one
the tail stock clamp part L2-7
the correct tool rest, part number unknown
the head stock base, part L2-2, part of it broke and is missing, another one would be nice but not absolutely necessary.
What motor would you advise, hp, rpm, clockwise rotation, etc
Finally, can you suggest a way to remove really heavy rust before refinishing?
Thanks much
Ed
