I'm new to the site so be gentle if my questions seem stupid!

I just bought a Weiler LZ-330 lathe that needs some restoration and a manual would be most helpful. I've seen several post that would suggest that some of the members may have one. I would very much appreciate any info.

Additionally I'm restoring a 1940's model Wysong & Miles edge sander that I have found absolutely noting on.

Thanks,

Jim

Joshua Rose's Modern Machine Shop Practice 1887 which is a bit difficult to tease out of the website at University of Michigan.

and 404 Not Found

Note that this book appeared in three different hard copy versions of which this is the first. Hard copies typically go for $100 to $400 depending on the condition. Some rough copies of part 1 or part 2 alone go for $20 on Ebay.

Rose also sold "folios" (Chapters) of MMSP apparently as an adjunct to his self education "tutoring" sideline.

On purchase of parts to achieve a matched set, BE SURE to verify the start/finish of the part chapters before purchase. With so many variations of the two volume set published, Rose would bind together individual "quartos" together as parts simply to make a complete set: it's possible to inadvertently purchase a part one with the last chapter the same as the first chapter in part 2.

Note: these are the books which captivated me to antique machine tools as a 14 year old.
