Jun 18, 2022 fabricater by: James Mick I acquired one complete from an uncle who passed away. Would really like to get hold of a manual. I would also like to find all available shaper bits made for it.

Jul 15, 2017 Ben the carpenter by: Anonymous My great-grandfather left me a Craftsman wood shaper model number 103.23921 but it looks identical to your model. I don't have the manual but would like to acquire a copy of it if you don't mind sending it. My email address is scorpious1@cox.net thank you in advance for sending it.

Jun 29, 2014 shaper bits by: Ray Hello All, Thanks especially for the manual. It was extremely helpful. I just got this at a garage sail. Didn't even know what it was. It didn't work. I just bought it for the steel table that came with it. Cleaned it up, lubed everything and the dang thing works. problem is I did not get any bits to go with it. So, does anyone have any extra or know where they can be gotten? Thanks.

Nov 03, 2010 Craftsman Shaper Owners Manual - King Seeley by: rick I recently became the proud owner of a 103.23920 Craftsman Shaper Table/King-Seely. I would like to acquire an owners manual if possible. It's in good shape but I feel I couldn't do it any justice if I don't know how to properly use it! Thanks for your help!

Oct 13, 2010 Manual by: David Heider I also have a manual for Model 103.23921. It has less detail about how to operate it, but does include an exploded view and parts list.

Sep 15, 2010 Located a General Manual for These Shapers by: David Here is a link for a manual that should cover these Shapers: http://www.evenfallstudios.com/woodworks_library/craftsman_jointer_shaper_thickness_planer_1951.pdf

Sep 02, 2010 Shaper Spindle Rotaion by: David Heider I reversed the motor on my shaper by opening the cover plate on the bottom of the motor and reversing some wires. If I remember right, it's marked so you can tell what to do. As far as the noisy spindle goes, you may need to disassemble it and clean and lubricate the bearings.

Sep 02, 2010 Manual for 103.23920 Shaper by: Anonymous I also have the Craftsman King-Seeley 103.23920 shaper and would like to have a manual for it. Thanks for your generous offer. My e-mail is: bwigen@q.com

Jul 31, 2010 Manual for Shaper Table by: Anonymous I would like to get a copy of the manual for the shaper table. My email is miller.sj@sbcglobal.net

Jan 01, 2010 103.23920 Shaper by: Anonymous I just acquired a Model 103.23920 shaper. The spindle seems a little noisy. Could this be a bearing in need of lubrication? Can the motor be reversed? Looking down on the spindle, it spins clockwise. I would prefer it spend counter-clockwise. How could I obtain a copy of the manual? Many thanks.

Jan 01, 2010 Craftsman shaper by: David Heider I have model 103.23921 - from my Dad's shop. It looks the same as yours. He used it a lot to make cabinet doors back in the 50's and 60's as a contractor. I have cleaned and refurbished it and it runs well. The spindle is worn where the sheave is attached, and I'm wondering if a new one can be found.

Dec 08, 2009 I have one too! by: Georgeek@cfl.rr.com I am interested in getting a copy of your manual. I was recently given one in real bad rusty shape, I'm not sure the motor even runs. I need to know where or even if I can get new bits for it. If I can't I don't want to restore it. Any info anyone can give me I will appreciate. I didn't even know what it was until I looked at this web site. Thanks, George

Nov 28, 2009 Copy of Manual by: David I have just acquired a model 103.23921. I don't know how different the two models are, but I am interested in restoring and using this shaper to its full potential also. I would like to get a copy of your manual if possible. Thanks! David
