This old fella is here more for sentimental reasons than anything else. This is a drawing made in 1910 as a frontpiece for a book on machining. Although I'm getting along, I wasn't personally around at that time, but I like old things - such as Craftsman 109 metal lathes. You must, too!
Check out our new Yahoo group for the Craftsman 109 and customers of Home Shop Supply. Please visit

All is Well!
NEWS UPDATE: As of June 27, 2010
I think we have turned the corner. Caught up on orders, stock level better, and I gave up on quitting. No one seems interested in taking this operation and running it better, so I'm going to run it better. Hang in there, and maybe we can keep the 109s around a few more years.
The bad news is the necessity for some price increases fairly soon. Steel prices are up, again, and even though I have held with no significant price increase in the last 10 years, I can't do it much longer. Existing inventory will not be changed, but look for some minor changes as I have to resupply.
NEW PARTS !
Look for the following as soon as I can get the pictures made and added to the site:
P/N A3217 Keyed Bushing set, with spacer and collared shaft, will be under Lathes-Parts
P/N A716 Tailstock Locking Handle set, with Bushing and Nut, will be under Lathes-Parts
Live Center Set, with 5 changeable tips, will be under Lathes-Upgrades
