Description
Number of Pages: 62
This is a reproduction, not a photocopy, of an original Rockwell 14″ Metal Cutting Lathe Instructions and Parts Manual. As you can see from the contents, this is a very detailed manual that covers everything you would want to know about this machine
We have two different Rockwell 14″ Metal Lathe manuals.
This manual is for the older version of the 14″. The major difference between the machines is that the spindle brake and clutch lever is on top of the headstock in the newer version, and the older version has a different type of control for the variable speeds. The other 14″ lathe manual 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.
