Lathe Tool Bits

[francist]

Thanks, are these manuals online?

Yes you can find them online, vintagemachinery.org is one source that comes readily to mind although I'm sure there a few more. I believe we have them in our downloads section here too but you need a few more posts to get into that area. Similarly, you can find hard copies for sale pretty often on places like Ebay.
Southbend "How to Run a Lathe", and Atlas "Manual of Lathe Operations" are the two I was speaking of.
