CLAUSING Colchester 21″ 8000 Series Metal Lathe SERVICE & REPAIR Manual 1064

August 5, 2026 //  Leave a Comment

Manual Description: This is a Service and Repair Manual and Does Not include Operating Instructions and Parts Manual that originally came with the lathe. This is to be used with the original Operating Instructions and Parts Manual, which we carry here: CLAUSING 21″ 8000 Series Lathe Operator & Parts Manual Number of Pages: 45 This is a reproduction, not a photocopy, of an original Clausing Colchester 21″ 8000 Series Metal Lathe Service and Repair Manual. This manual is part of a series of manuals we have that cover all the 8000 series Clausing Colchester lathes from 11″ to 21″. This is a very unique and rare book, because it was put together and published for students of the Clausing Colchester Service Training School, and was not released to the general public. This is a real service manual, and it gives step by step instructions on how to dismantle nearly every part of this machine. It gives recommendations on tooling and what to look for while dismantling. It also provides notes on things to consider, and possible areas that receive damage. It provides page numbers from the original operating instructions and parts manual as a reference, and contains sections of parts diagrams that are related to the steps. Quote from manual: “These notes should be used in conjunction with the instruction manual supplied with the lathe referring to the illustrated pages indicated in the left hand column.” This manual would be a great help with anyone that would need to work on this lathe. 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. Visit our eBay Store!We have over 1,100 manuals available. From our shop to yours. We get this. But you get this! Why settle for anything less?We can’t make pictures a lot better than the original, but we can fix everything else. Shipping: We ship every M-T-W-T-F except US holidays. All of our manuals are shipped with Delivery Confirmation. We stamp “Do Not Bend” on them to ensure that your manual arrives quickly in good condition. Any package that weighs more than 15.9 oz cannot be shipped First Class, and will be shipped Media Mail. Priority and Express mail options are available to purchase. Since we offer free shipping, we cannot reship manuals for free, due to inaccurate or insufficient addresses. Reshipping Fees for inaccurate or insufficient addresses: $5.00 for the first manual and $2.50 for each additional manual.

We do more than sell manuals, we have a complete woodworking and machine shop. We operate all kinds of machinery everyday.
