PDF Manual

This is a long shot considering the age of the original post but David posted an offer of emailing a PDF of the original manual. If by some small miracle this request works, I would love the pdf.

Just picked one up
by: Larry

Hi, just picked up a Craftsman 40 4 inch jointer. It's missing the guard. Any idea where to get one? I've taken it apart, and it looks reasonably clean, just disused. Also looking for detailed exploded diagram for the fence system. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

To Ronnie from Texas who posted your picture, I would like to know when it was you posted and if you still have yours. Anyhow, mine is identical to yours as far as color, labels, etc. I can't wait to put mine to use. Thanks

Model 103.20670 planer
by: Richard

Hello guys, I saw this while searching for a stand and book, though I realized it's been a few years I decided to ad my own exp. I recently acquired this but it did not come with a stand it motor. One thing I am fairly certain of is that mine does not have much wear at all from use. The bearings are solid, no slop or play and the blades are still sharp. It does have surface rust as there was much stuff piled on it but it doesn't really show much wear from bring used.
I would like to find an original stand for it and a manual if anyone has either of those parts for sale. Thanks

I have the original owners manual and parts list for this jointer and, of course, the jointer itself. I don't have the stand, however. I am happy to send the manual via pdf file.

Craftsman 40 - 4 3/4 inch jointer -
by: brainmester

The model number you found is listed on Sears.com as the fence for a 4 3/4 inch jointer. The fence parts explosion is all that they picture and is is terrible quality but it looks just like my fence. I can't tell from the picture but now I'm convinced we have the same tool.

Craftsman 40 jointer
by: brainmeister

I have been searching for info on my jointer and found your post. From what I can tell, our tools may be identical. My jointer has a black paintjob with white "Craftsman" and red "40". I purchased mine for $15. It is mounted on a home-made stand and has a very old looking replacement 3/4 Hp motor. I could not find the model number so I was excited to see you have. I wonder where you found it. I do not have the stand pictured in your post. your stand looks like the original. I'm pleased with the quality and have friends with newer benchtop jointers that all have short outfeed tables. This jointer does a good job. I'ld love to have a manual with specs. I believe it will be easy to shorten a longer set of blades with an abrasive cutoff saw to replace them when they are too worn down.
