Description

Number of Pages: 43

This is a reproduction of an original EMCO Maximat V10-P and the Maximat Mentor 10 Instruction Manual. This manual contains information on setup, lubrication, maintenance, and controls. It also covers setting up the attachments, including the vertical milling head.

I also have the parts manual for this machine in my store!

 

 

The manual above may help you operate and maintain your metal lathe. If you would like to learn more about metal lathework techniques, the names and proper uses of different lathe tools, and other lathe operations, I would recommend clicking on the pictures of these two books here. We also have a complete series of different machinist books on sharpening, gearmaking, milling machines, and more here: Workshop Machinist Series

Overview:

I have collected this information for many years and have found the information they contain to be priceless in using and setting up the machines properly. I believe this manual will be a valuable resource of knowledge that will provide a lot of helpful information that is often hard to find. My manuals are not photocopies. I maintain a high standard of quality in my reproductions. Most of the manuals I reproduce look better than their originals. I have professionally digitally edited every page, and removed stains, wrinkles and handwriting. All of the manuals are printed on thick white paper to withstand shop wear and tear.
