Owners manual for Craftsman Lathe

[Todd Davidson]

By chance does anybody have an owners's manual for a Craftsman model # 113.228360 lathe that they would be willing to either e-mail or photocopy and snail mail to me? Thanks! In peace, Todd

Todd,
You might find it here. Good Luck.

Todd,
I have the same lathe - I think :rolleyes: I'll see if I still have the manual and scan it for you. If you just want an exploded view, go to www3.sears.com and plug in the model number - there is a parts list and an exploded view.

I'll check tonight for the manual.

John~ No luck with the link. Appreciate the effort though.

Wes~ The exploded view is a help, but a copy of the manual would really be great.

[Wes Bischel]

Todd,
Sent you an email.

By the way Todd,
Did the extension wing work out ok?

Wes ~ Have yet to receive your e-mail. Kindly let me know if it is returned to you. Sometimes my Hotmail account freaks out and interprets everything as spam or something.

John ~ The extension wing worked out great. As soon as I can get the odds and ends of our shop in order I'll post some pictures.

Todd,

Sent it on the 25th. Shoot me your email address and I'll sent out the PDF.

Think I have my Hotmail account back on track. My e-mail is: waddles2001@hotmail.com . Would you mind trying again Wes?

[Wes Bischel]

Todd,
Tried again and got a failure notice this time - I sent a note without the PDF to see if that is the problem.

Successfully received and printed the manual! Thank you kindly!!!!!

Todd, or Wes, it looks like I'll be getting this same lathe, or at least an earlier incarnation of it.

Could one of you send me a copy of the owners manual?

TIA

Cheers!

Stu,

Sent in three parts due to file size. If it doesn't go through, let me know.

Thanks Wes, got all three files.....

...but, looks like I made a mistake, the lathe I have coming is a tube bed, not the flat bed....?

I was told it was a #113...?

OK, sorry my bad, mine is a 113.23881, the manual you sent me is for the 113.228360, I thought that with the same "113" they would be nearly the same, mine would be just a different version, but no, they are VERY different.

Oh well, good info on setting the lathe up which will apply anyway.

Cheers!

I had heard that the Ridgid WL-1200 is nearly the same machine as mine, so I just downloaded and printed their manual...

Looks just like the Craftsman #113.23881 12" lathe I have coming....

Cheers!

Hey y'all. I really could use a copy of an owner's manual for a Sears Craftsman 113.228360 Lathe. My email address is r.maser@yahoo.com.

Thanks in advance for any help I get in this situation.

Robt,
Sorry, but my file went poof with my old hard drive. Hopefully someone else can chime in with one. There is an exploded diagram shown here: (and they have the manual for a fee.:rolleyes:)

Good luck with the lathe.
