Hi all,
I was recently given a Sears Craftsman Lathe (Model No. 113.228160) along with an assortment of turning chisels. At first, I thought I was getting a rusted hunk o' junk, but with Naval Jelly, a green scrub pad, and Johnson's Paste Wax, I now have a shiny spiffy new (to me) lathe. However, it's missing a key part.
I'm the third owner (the first is deceased), so getting my hands on the original part is no longer an option. The first owner removed the tool rest bracket in order to put on a copy crafter.
Where can I find a replacement tool rest bracket (the part that attaches to the bed). I have the tool rest itself and the tool rest base, but not the bracket.
I did call Sears, but as this model is no longer made, they can't help me.
Aside from combing e-bay, is there another source for parts?
Noah
