Vintage Craftsman Dovetail Fixture manual?

[Steve Coley]

I need a manual for an old Craftsman dovetail fixture model number 9 2576. Does anyone have a pdf of the owners manual for this fixture? I cannot find one online anywhere.

Not the same model but it may be close enough to work hopefully.

Thanks Marlin!I found that one also. I am hoping to find one for my model the 9 2576. I have looked everywhere online and I don't believe one is posted online anywhere. I was hoping someone had made a pdf for this model from maybe their own manual. That will probably be the only way I will get one.

Steve can you post a photo of your jig? I have an old craftsman dovetail jig, it is a 9 2572. I found a reference on another forum that the Vermont American jig is the same. Send me your email via a PM and I will send you the PDF.

Search this number on EBAY and you will see what mine looks like:

The 9 2576 that I have is a little different than the Vermont American on in that the Vermont one has two templates. The one I have only has one template with a spacer bar. I have a manual I got online for the Vermont America one, but it really doesn't match mine because of the two template deal.

It looks like ebay item 16257843266 has a manual with it, you might contact the seller to see if they can copy the manual for you or invest the $14 for a second jig and manual. There also appear to be other sellers that also have the same jig with manuals.
