Does anyone have the green book/manual for the cowells 90 lathe in pdf format? I've looked everywhere without any success. I tried to order the book from chronos to but ive been told it is out of print.

I've had a good look around the website, they have brochures but no books or manuals. I haven't emailed them, yet.

Edit: __ Yes, it appears to be the Andrew Smith text, but in a spiral-bound A4 format:

Yes, I have the book. Frankly, unless you want the book 'to complete the set', I wouldn't bother to seek it out. It contains very little that is specific to the Cowells machine, except a screw-cutting chart and parts diagrams. If you're new to lathes, you won't learn enough from this book: if you're not a newbie, you don't need it.

The owner of Cowells is/was very approachable and helpful. If you need any specific info., I'd expect you would get a good response from him. You might also get a copy of the book from him. And, of course, there's a mine of info. available right here, on this forum – just ask.

Uh, sorry – I have the book, but not as a .pdf. [note to self: read the question carefully…]

[HollowpointParticipant @hollowpoint]

What I was looking for was some exploded diagrams of the lathe, some info on the screwcutting gears and how to use the back gear.

If anyone wants to scan that for me I'd be very greatful. 😁

Thanks for the help guys.

I've sent you an email but it's all gone quiet, check your spam folder, your machine might not like me

[HollowpointParticipant @hollowpoint]

Sorry for the slow reply guys.

JA and Duncan have both offered help so thank you very much for that! Much appreciated!
