I am looking to locate a copy of a owners manual/parts manual and a repair manual for an older model Rockwell lath.
Where might I find this on line?

Re: Where can i find lathe manuals?

I was able to find a lathe manual on the Old Woodworking Machine web page.(www.owwm.com).

Look on the left side of the web page for a list of manufacturers. Click on your manufacturer and then look for manual reprints.

Good luck.

Zac

Scott, I have an older Rockwell lathe (1980s vintage. Off hand I cann't remember the model no. and I still have the manual. Let me know if you don't find one on the web and I can copy mine for you.

Larry , thanks for the offer! I will take you up on it! Would you copy the manual you have please and send it to me. Will you be sending it via: US postal service or by email as a PDF file?

The lathe, I think is a Rockwell 46-450 model or a very close model to a 46-450.

Zac,
At the web site you recommend ....I was able to find a manual for a Rockwell 46-450 lathe.
it was a cool web site!....perhaps I over looked it? did you have luck finding a manual for a 46-450?

Scott:

If Larry does not have that manual, I do. I have the same lathe.

Just let me know and I will send it to you.

Re: Where can i find lathe manuals?

I just picked up a 46-450 and the variable speed needs adjusting. Where did you get the manual? I looked on the site mentioned but could not find anything for the 46-450.

I must apologize, as I now realize that i misspelled a word in my lasting posting that would change my posting. The correction I need to make is that I was unable to find a manual for a Rockwell 46-450........ Again I apologize. I wish you much luck in your search.
