SMART and BROWN Sabel, "SAB" and "S" lathes. These lathes are copies of the "9-inch" South Bend and , as such, the best manual is the one produced for the other UK copy, the Boxford. This edition has been specially put together by Tony Griffiths with the aim of providing as complete a set of information as possible.
Contains the larger and far-better earlier Boxford manual with clearer pictures and drawings together with additional sections and charts added not included in the original with details, for example, of how to generate pitches not shown on the screwcutting gearbox, which pitches the lever positions produce, a full list of standard and extra changewheels to fit the different models (and how they were set ex-factory) and data on metric to inch and inch to metric screwcutting conversions.
Wiring connection diagrams for the Dewhurst and Stanton switches. Also included is a copy of the slim Smart and Brown Sabel Manual and a copy of the maker's sales & specification catalogue. For a Data Pack with the detailed Spares Manual see: https://www.store.lathes.co.uk/print/MS580C

The Amateur's Lathe

"The Amateur's Lathe". A book in print since 1946, it assumes no prior knowledge and goes through all the basic and some advanced machining processes in a clear and logical way. Hence, it's an indispensable aid to the beginner - or even experienced turner. It includes such useful things as lathe design, the meaning of technical terms, names of lathe parts and how they relate to each other, how to choose a lathe, how to care for it, make adjustments, modifications and improvements. Included are details of how screwcutting and power feeds works and how to set up changewheels to provide a drive. Also included are charts for various pitches of leadscrew as commonly used on small lathes - one suitable for your lathe will certainly be amongst them. Various simple projects are also included with engineering drawings that allow some useful accessories to be made - rotating centre, 4-way toolpost, collet holder, tailstock threading die-holder, carriage length stop, etc. If you want to know about the fundamentals of lathe construction and use, how to set suitable turning speeds how to sharpen tools, set tool angles, read micrometers and verniers, etc.
