Original Owners Guide Craftsman 4" Jointer 103.20670
by: David

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.

I have a working one, model 103.20680
same color and branding. I'd guess it's early 1960's

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.
