I just bought a used Willson 6.5" x 24" Metal Lathe, and the User's Manual is missing. Does anyone out there have a copy of the Manual? Thanks very much.

Hi,

I'm also looking for a manual for an older Willson
Mystery Gearhead Lathe - Practical Machinist - Largest Manufacturing Technology Forum on the Web


The google search gives some info
site:practicalmachinist.com practical machinist willson - Google Search


and I've found this on equivalent oils

As you are in Italy, do you know anything about Di Palo milling machines?

If Tony Griffiths can't help you try eBay UK where there are regular sales of Willson manuals.
