$39 for the hard-copy and $35 for the PDF or $56.50 for both...

I've always been a little sceptical of these sorts of sites, as many I see coming up in Google are just full of crap, spam and who knows what else.  I've also heard the horror stories of expensive manuals turning out to be very poor quality reproductions.

However, I must say how pleased I was that I bothered to contact them to ask if they could confirm if the manual covered the standard machine ways/rack and pinion version that I have.  Within a couple of hours of sending the email, I had this response from Adam:

"Here is a link to the manual.  If you like it just purchase on my site. If it doesn't work for your machine no charge."

I downloaded it at work and had a look and was very happy with the quality (scan of a 1970's manual) and the fact that it was indeed the correct one for my machine.  I immediately sent him an email, thanking him and I have just completed the PayPal transaction.

I find it refreshing that there are still people out there with enough trust to allow me to do this and so I really wanted to post it here, as I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another manual from him in the future.

Thanks Rob - if it makes you feel any better, I still haven;t finished my lathe (need to make parts for the feed system) and the motor and guards are still off of my shaper...
