Hi All in January this year I joined the forum! Since then I have been doing a lot of traveling about the place in our caravan with my wife, so I have not put anything on the forum.
So this is just a bit more input on my Siege C4 lathe, the manual that comes with the lathe is about as useless as …. !
I have been looking around for a better manual and found this one from the
Travers[FONT=&amp] Tool Co[/FONT] there lathe is called OTMT it is the Siege C4 rebadged, the manual is the best I have seen for an explanation of what all the controls are for and how to use them in great detail, plus a maintenance schedule as well as telling you how to do simple cutting and drilling and thread cutting procedures and it’s all in colour I will attempt to put a copy up so you can have a look I will just mention at this stage I have some other machines.
Re: larger lathe 13x40, mill drill 2HP model HM-46 plus some other tooling.
What I need to stress here is; if my machining skills matched my tools I would be a very smart man in the tools room! But alas this is a long way from the facts and I just bumble along hoping to get help, off all you more experienced good people. That tend to hang out in such forums as this one.
I believe that forums such as this one are the great confidence builders as well for people wishing to acquire machining skills anyway I’m starting to sound like a politician around election time

That document has a Feb 2011 copyright date. Might not be a good idea to put it up. But then, perhaps Fair Use would allow it for "educational purposes".

I didn't see a copyright anywhere on the document and as Travers has it posted for download I doubt there would be a problem with it even if it were.

Thank you gentlemen for your comments on copyright! But surely why would this article have been put up in a PDF format on the internet without any copy and printing restrictions eg: pass word protection to reproduce in Adobe reader.

It's on the first page, Ron. Even though it is on the Internet, it can still be copyrighted. That is to protect the content from being used by someone who might want to represent the work as their own, I'm sure. I was not saying that it must come down, but just pointing it out.

Dear Mr. Bray,[/FONT]


[FONT=&amp]Yes, it is OK that you posted our manual. You’ve clearly identified that the manual was produced by Travers, so that requirement is met. For other forum members, we can ship the machine anywhere in the world. I hope that you can include a link to the Travers website for the machine: [/FONT]

Interesting. The version I pulled up didn't have a copyright, just a statement as to the "version" of the document. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi Colbra

Many thanks for bringing the Travers Manual to my attention.
I am the owner of a new SC4 and like you found the supplied instructions terrible.
I was having trouble understanding how the gears are fitted for screw cutting, especially when only 3 gears are required. The Travers Manual makes it very clear.

Thanks must go to Travers for first producing the Manual and allowing it to be posted.
I will check out the company to see if I can support them with purchases.

I am in Brisbane, are you anywhere nearby?
