I have come into posession of a Craftsman 10" Radial Arm Saw, and I am looking for a manual that gives the specs and operating instructions for it. The model number is #113.29401. If anybody can help me locate the manual for it I would be very greatful.
Joe Easy one...

That is an "Old gold" Emerson "113" made for Sears prefix saw.

As the saying goes, "They don't make 'em like this anymore". If someone gave you the saw, you found gold.

Emerson Tool Company can provide the manual copy for this if you contact them. Or check "Old Woodworking Machines" (do a google search) and it might be posted there.

Emerson no longer supplies these type of tools to Sears---they supply Home Depot. The long standing relationship between Sears and Emerson soured around 1998 or so. Ryobi supplies most of what Emerson did on the same products.

Emerson went down the tubes when they started importing what they used to make in the states for Sears....

Joe--thanks for the info! I'll try looking for Emerson or any site that can help me find a manual for this saw. By the way; I did some cleaning and oiling on the saw and it works beautifully. Makes a great addition to my tool collection.

You want Emerson Tool Company---and yea, they should be able to send you a copy of the manual for it.

I have several older Craftsman tools (no woodworking yet) that were given to me or I paid next to nothing for and they are true USA made classics.

A tool like that will last for years with the proper care.

It's still hard for me to picture a time when metal lathes were offered by Sears.

They offered quite a range through the years.

They ranged from Dunlap, completely hand fed models, to modest Craftsman lathes with interchangeable gear lead-screw systems, to the professional model, most of us are used to seeing, with the two levers, quick-change gear box.

The ways ranged from standard flat ways to the V-profile professional (like the Rockwell-Delta I used in the Army) models.

I think all of the Sears model metal lathes used a standard threaded-collar arrangement for holding the 3 or 4 jawed chucks.
