Messages 1. Having a very confusing problem with this lathe. I was turning a 2 inch eood, starting on the finishing pass. It just slowed down, and started making a sound like it was binding up. It was running about rpm, then just slowed down. I took the piece off, turned the chuck by hand. There doesn't seem to be anything restricting it from turning. I turn it back on, it runs, but starts to catch someplace. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I have never turned anything large, or heavy on it.
In vairable about 5 years. Last edited: May 25, Vaughn McMillan Administrator Staff member. John, I'm not at a computer right now to look up the model number, but I suspect that lathe has a Reeves drive. I used to own one myself.
From your description, it sounds like the movable pulley sheave is not sliding freely. Thus is a common problem with these lathes. A but of cleaning and lubrication of the shaft the sheave slides on should take care of things. When Craftsman Variable Speed Wood Lathe Lab I get back to a computer I'll see if I can find craftsman professional variable speed wood lathe use old threads here that describe how to take things apart for servicing.
In the meantime, try a few searches here for "Reeves drive" and chances are you'll find some info you can use. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk. Bernie Weishapl Member. Messages 4, Location Goodland, Kansas. Sears sent a repairman out 3 times and rebuilt it. Then getting parts for it was impossible. So I just bit the bullet and bought a Nova lathe. I am guessing like Vaughn said it is the reeves drive causing problems.
I had mine apart more times than I cared to. When you lube it vwriable a good graphite. Oil just collect dust. John, here are a few threads that discuss the problem I'll second probably a Reeves drive issue.
There are actually three belts on this machine though. A primary drive belt, a variable drive Reeves drive belt, and one in the front that drives what appears to be a mechanical governor. I have had issues with all three! The single screw on the top of professionsl lathe in the red cover allows you to drop the red cover on it's hinges and see what is happening with your Reeves drive and Reeves drive belt. Probably the issue. I see no significant danger running with this cover craftsman professional variable speed wood lathe use to view operation.
No documentation on pulling the plastic variabpe cover that hides the little belt and that is what I would check next if the Reeves drive appears OK. There is an O-ring where the professiobal housing comes through the black plastic. Push vsriable gently on the plastic and remove that O-ring to remove the front cover and check that little belt. Mine hopped off once for reasons unknown. I put it back on and life has been good so far.
Check all set screws for pulleys as you go through things, one was loose letting a pulley walk on me, maybe one for this little belt, I forget now.
One more thing, if you have to take the Reeves drive apart, build and buy the tools recommended. It is also remotely possible to do with a helper but a hazardous undertaking. That innocent looking spring on the Reeves drive is about fourteen times longer than I expected it to be! As you may guess, I still own and use this fabled lathe.
I am learning to turn wood on it and haven't had a craftsman professional variable speed wood lathe use once I took the Reeves craftsman professional variable speed wood lathe use apart, sanded all the parts that should slide with a very fine grit and then cleaned them. It is colloidal graphite, which is just to say graphite in a solvent that helps it get in places and then evaporates.
It is excellent to use varkable guns and in gun bores, anywhere you want a dry lube, and surprisingly considering the name, it even works on locks! I get the squeeze bottle, lasts until I lose craftsman professional variable speed wood lathe use. Might save you a lot of work and it is a five minute job. Good Luck, Hu Vaughn, That lathe and the Reeves drives may do more to create new members than anything else. We come seeking help and get sucked into the maw!

Vaughn, Oddly craftsman professional variable speed wood lathe use my manual parts schematic gives no indication of a fan although it is mentioned in the parts list and there is a squirrel cage type blower mechanically driven in mine from the looks of things.
There is also a centrifugal switch as I mentioned under the front dust cover that the same little belt drives. I couldn't see if it drove anything else on the other side too or not, looks like maybe. Taking the front cover off was a mistake. That led me to inspect with the back cover down since the top cover has to come off to get the front cover off and the back cover was already hanging down.
Top pulley half sheave hung part way. Nothing to these Reeves drives Hu says three hours later with an aching back, a springed stomach, and sore hands.
Quite a mess to clean up too! Oh yeah, one more thing. The bowl tweaking tool makes a fine Reeves drive gentle tweaking tool too. May have to turn a bigger one though. Billy Burt Member. Messages Location San Antonio, Texas.
Vaughn Varibale said:. The third belt is a fan belt, according to the manual for that lathe. I had forgotten about it being there. I don't know about that lathe creating new members, but I'll bet a vxriable of Jet, Nova, and Powermatic lathes have been sold because of it. Still a decent machine for the price especially if purchased usedbut it's also great motivation to purchase a better lathe.
