Hello,


I also recently inherited an old Sheldon lathe (Cat. # ws56p)and am
looking for information regarding getting it up and
running-proper lubrication (especially motor and bearings).
Does anyone have any tips (or warnings)on refurbishing/ lubrication of
this old machine?


Thanks,
Dave

Take a look at www.lindsaybks.com for a reprint of the Sheldon Machine
Co. lathe operators manual, cat. no. 21052, $7.50

Above listed is the group that specializes in the information you asked for.
There was a thread on lubricating just recently.

http://www.lathes.co.uk/sheldon/page5.html

The above site has a good bit of information about what the different lathes
were and what all the different models were.

no neat sig line, but 2 Sheldon lathes

For parts search on this newsgroup in google for 'sheldon' and 'parts'.
You should get a listing for National Acme. Don't know if
they are still around though.

I have a Sheldon - an 11-44 (marketing number) - on the way the front right corner of the
machine - is stamped a long alpha-number. This identifies the machine and options...

If you call someone that is important.
