Treasure trove archive of lathe documents

[jbeech]

lathe-manuals directory listing

Note, there are two groups of documents, those with Monarch (upper case) and monarch (lower case) so look carefully.

Unfortunately, nothing for my Wade 8A other than an .stl for a feed shaft collar (you win some, you lose some).

Enjoy!

Did you create that archive? Asking as I have piles of monarch prints that I got some years back when I bought the parts from a local monarch rebuilder. Have not gone through them (heck I don’t even have the time to work on my actual lathe). At some point they should all be either digitized if someone has large format scanner or at least photographed and put online.

Hi Paul,
I'd be glad to help. Anyway, while I didn't put together the archive, I suspect they'd be quite pleased to host digital files of the prints.

Here is a partial list of Monarch files at lathe-manuals directory listing I didn't look at the series k files, but everything else seems to be available in the Monarch section at Vintage Machinery (link); Vintage Machinery has quite a few files beyond what available at archive.org.

Each document seems to have a PDF version and ZIP version. The ZIP file contains scans individual pages in JPG format. The ZIP files might be handy if you need an individual page out of one of the docs.
