I'm new here from Va. I've been turning for about two years after a good friend gave me an old Craftsman lathe, thinking it would be a nice addition to the shop. We'll you know what happened from there....... Looking forward to learning more here!

Welcome fellow craftsman lathe owner....on here you will find we are the odd ones but I have turned on mine for several years and still have good luck with it. If yours is an older one you will be happy with it.

Have fun be safe;)
