203 forum posts	I have just become the owner of a somewhat neglected Model A. Can anyone point me in the direction of a manual or can anyone explain what all of the various controls do. Thanks Martin

33 forum posts	As suggested by BrianH https://groups.io/g/BoxfordLathe-UserGroup You will have to join the group and login. The file you are looking for is boxford_know_your_lathe.pdf There are parts lists but you will need to try them as thay have multiplied over the years.

418 forum posts 15 photos	I don't know if it's exactly the same book as Boxford's 'Know Your Lathe', but there is a book of the same title by Denford's Engineering Company listed at TEE Publishing for £4.95. I suspect it's an earlier edition of the same book as Boxford's and Denford's were almost the same company, I believe, or at least co-operated closely with each other. Of course, I stand to be corrected, but in any event a fiver is hardly any great loss if the book is purchased in error.

203 forum posts	Many thanks for every ones input. The free pdf gives me enough info to get me started playing with my £25 purchase. Martin
