I have a Sheldon lathe manual....

[Alan in GA]

but the lathe got gone before I could get 'it'.
Anyone needing a Sheldon lathe manual?
Of course, now I need to go out into the shop and see which model it is,,but that will require getting up out of my chair..................
I have no use for this manual.

I would love to borrow it... I just want to scan it and put it on the Lathe Resource CD that I sell to support the website. After it is scanned I will return the manual along with a CD with all the rest of the manuals that I have been able to collect.

PM me if we can work this out!

Thanks,
Ken

then more could benefit from it.
My son did a color repro with my Clausing 5413 lathe manual for a friend. Then he made 3 or 4 more. He is too busy to do it anymore tho. The copiers at his Civil Engineering office did a GREAT job. Color was 'just' to be able to reproduce the very few RED entrys in the exploded parts pages.
Will get your info this evening,,late for work.

oddly enough I have a sheldon lathe, but no manual.
let me know if the resource cd gets it included. I would be interested in either/or. Thanks

I have a mustard [yellow] colored manual with 'all' the Sheldon models in it, another book "LATHES OPTIONS and ACCESSORIES", and a price book "SHELDON Machine Tools PRICE LIST.
I'll send the whole package in. The BOOK manual is stapled, squared binding. It could get injured in the copying process but that's ok,,as long as the data gets a good 'copy' for the CD. You can decide if it needs 'unstapleing' or just flattened on copier/scanner.

Guess I'll ship in a box to protect it all.

Sorry, I did get the box... I think it showed up Monday but darned work has been a PITA and it will be another late night tonight... I will try to get these scanned and returned ASAP with the CD but I may not get to do this until the weekend (I hope I don't need to work this weekend :confused:)

[Alan in GA]

thanks. Hope it helps out some 'manual less' Sheldon owners.

Sorry, looks like I have some unexpected problems... I had upgraded our Adobe Accorbat to 6.0 (had a disc from work that we were thowing out) and it seems my Printer software does not like Adobe 6.0 :eek:

I have spent several hours last night trying to get new drivers for my scanner and it is a No Go so far... The bad part is that I can't find my old Adobe 5.0 disk :confused:

I have another scanner in the basement (it is an older flatbed scanner) and I need to see if I can get that to work and if not I will need to scan this at work of buy a nes scanner. The manuals look great but darn if I had expected the problems...

[Alan in GA]

I don't have a Sheldon lathe,,,just keeping the manual in my shop for whoever needs reference,,,and your work is going to solve that for several SHELDON owners!

Which lathe is your manual for? I have just aquired an older style sheldon lathe. I believe it to be a twelve inch from the late thirties but im not sure. My lathe has a plate on the screwcutting gear box saying that it was commissioned by the war department. I will be posting some picturers soon, but does anyone have more info on this piece of equipment?

I just acquired a "Sheldon Machine Co. Inc.; Quick Change Gear Lathe" from my fathers estate. There is no manual with it and I would love to get a copy of one. Is the manual you have for a specific model or for all models? The data plate on mine shows a Cat# of "S.E.W.Q.M." and a size of "43 inch 3/4"

Thanks.

The manual is more of a catalog then a real manual of sorts. I hav enot had the time to work it ontl my lathe resource CD but if you want a copy I sell them for $25.50 shipped.

There is a ton of info on the CD (I may need to move to 2-CDs to get the Shelton manuals on there.

I have far more on the CD then is listed...

There is an orderform on that page or you can pay via Paypal. Just make sure you include a note that you also what the Shelton manuals as I have not had the time to create a new master with these new manuals to get CDs duplicated.
