Sheldon lathe manual
 

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?

checking in:

Sorry but I forgot abut this! I have the manuals you sent scanned and in a PDF format (I ended up scanning them at work as I never did get my home scanner running). I need your addess so I can send you the CDs with you rmanuals and your voided check. I did tell you I was voiding your check right? Your manuals were quite good so I decided I we you both CDs.

Sorry again, darned work has been a real pain in my hobby time!

I have a lathe
 

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.

PM sent. Thanks.
