Help, please. I found an old Craftsman Shaper, model-113.239.20, serial-8236-00023, at an auction. Then I found its manual on-line. Someone made a stand for it. I will get a motor and cutters if I can resolve a missing parts problem first.
Per the manual's exploded diagram, there should be a "lock stud" (threaded rod), "lock knob", "washer", and "jam nut" that come from the right side to enter the "support table" and tighten against the "spindle assembly" once the cutter is set to the correct height. The exploded diagram specs 3/8 x 24 threads on each end of the "lock stud". However, on the actual shaper the two holes in the "support table" that accept the "lock stud" have no threads. And they are not the same diameter.
Can anyone out there offer a solution to this problem or point me to a resource that might help?
Thanks
Ed
