Description

Number of Pages: 57

This is a reproduction, not a photocopy, of an original Rockwell 10″ Cabinet Metal Lathe Instructions and Parts Manual. This manual contains information on lubrication, maintenance, adjustments, operations, and controls. It also contains exploded view diagrams of all the parts of the machine. Please read contents below.

 

We have two different Rockwell 10″ Cabinet Metal Lathes.
This manual is for the older version. The main differences between the two is the length of the bed, and the controls for the variable speed are completely different. The newer version is listed here:

 

 

 

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.
