I have a Lathe CD that I put together that should provide you with the basics you need to run any lathe. This is best read or used on a computer as I scanned several of the manuals in grey scale so the images would be clear but others will print fine:

Another great book to get is a book by South Bend called "Projects" or something similar. You might try my search page here http://lathetalk.com/ebay/index.html but EBAY seems to be having some issues lately with allowing those searches to work.

Good Luck!

Where could I accuire parts for a KBC model 335-000 lathe, I went on KBCtools.com and they are trying to find the parts.

Is there any other company that could supply parts for the model of lathe.

The shipping company drop the lathe and break the Handle for the gears, and the two guage spindle. They are not responsible (ABF freight).

I am a newbie, does this machine need any calibration.

So dissapointed,

thanks
