Good thing about the Emco lathes, you can make about anything you need for them on even a just slightly larger lathe or mill.?

I did not look at ebay at all. Too much overpriced chinese garbage there nowadays. But I will go now and look as they obviously have something usable there.

Re: Looking for lathe manual for model Sears Craftsman 549-289000
I was going to suggest that, but looked, first, and they don't have it. They so classic US machinery, and 549 isn't listed. 'Cause it's made in Austria.?

Looking for lathe manual for model Sears Craftsman 549-289000
Guys, where can I find a manual for this tiny lathe?
It is a 5" metal working lathe, made in Europe but sold by Sears under the Craftsman badge.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrei
