Manual Description: Number of Pages: 85 This is a reproduction of an original Clausing Colchester 15″ 8000-Series Geared Head Lathe Instruction and Parts Manual. This manual contains information on setup, lubrication, maintenance, and controls as well as a complete parts list. We also have the REPAIR and SERVICE Manual for this series of Clausing Colchester lathes as well, which I highly recommend.

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.Visit our eBay Store!We have over 1,100 manuals available.
