Sheldon R13,R15,R17 precision lathe operator's manual
This is a reproduction, not a photocopy, of an original Sheldon Instruction Manual For R13, R15, R17 Precision Lathe Manual. This is a very professional instruction manual. I can see why they put it in a manual by itself without the parts list. This manual covers lubrication, setup, and operation of the lathe. Plus, it has the wiring diagrams. There is also a great troubleshooting check list; perfect for anyone that is having troubles with their lathe. This is an excellent manual and a must have for anyone that has this lathe.
I have the parts manual for this lathe as well.
