I have owned my Clarke 500 lathe/mill for about 15 years and at last it is being used for modeling. Unfortunately it has moved house with me three times and I have lost the hand book. I really need the lathe and mill speeds charts and any information about the gear trains for screw cutting.
If anyone has a copy and would be willing to copy it for me I would happily pay copy costs and postage.
Thanks Chris.

Heck, suddenly replies after ten months. I actually contacted Clarke by phone and a very helpful bloke downloaded both the parts list and full instruction manual. Gave the advice to someone else recently in the beginners questions section and I think he too has been successful. My experience of Machine Mart is not as good as it could be regarding after sales service or information. Suspect they employ salesmen rather than engineering enthusiasts!

Thinking about it my comments about Machine Mart are rather outdated. Soon after buying my lathe (15 years ago) the main start switch stopped working. The guy in the local shop told me to ship it to their workshops, I think it was Shefield for repairs! They were unable to supply me with a switch to fit myself.
However as I say that was some years ago so hopefully things have changed.
Chris.
