Default Trying to find a manual

Hey,

I am trying to find the manual for a Sheldon Machine EM-56-P 13" lathe. Does anyone here know how to get a hold of one? I tried emailing Tony at lathes.co.uk but he never responded.

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks

Try ebay, search for Sheldon lathes, always a bunch of literature on there. Also there is a Yahoo Group for Sheldon lathes. the moderator has a lot of Sheldon information.

What sort of information are you looking for or in need of?

Lathes are a fairly generic machine tool. There are many excellent books on operation. As for disassembly and repair the logans are basic lathe construction.

I need a part list, disassembly instructions, and lubrication procedure. This lathe has been sitting in a warehouse for about 10 years and has a bit of rust on the ways that I would like to clean up.

Basically I want to overhaul it and get it into tip top shape.
