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.

I have the Parts Manual for this Lathe as well.

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.
