Description

This is a reproduction, not a photocopy, of an original Yamazaki Mazak 18″ Metal Lathe Operating Instructions and Parts Manual. These lathes were also branded as Hercules Ajax. These lathes were offered with a gap making the swing 21″. They were available in the following sizes 18×40, 18×60, 18×100, and there was the smaller Model 860 lathe.

 

This manual contains information about the metal lathe specifications, lifting/installation instructions, and setting it up. The manual contains proper lubricating instructions with a lubrication chart. It also has the wiring diagram, and the feed/threading charts.

 

This Mazak manual covers how to make different adjustments, including how to adjust the spindle bearings, the overload clutch, and the safety pin in the leadscrew. The manual also contains clear  explosive view parts diagrams on large foldouts with parts list and descriptions.

 

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; they are then comb bound with heavy cover pages so they lie flat on the workbench. Better than a pdf download.
