Hi Peter,

I don't have the manual but I did find the original sales brochure, there may be some things of interest at least..




Melbourne Matty.

Thanks Matty,

The machine run beautifully. Back to see if we can find the sanding and boring attachments on Wednesday.

Cheers,
Peter

My father in law also has one of these, and loves it. DSEL74, would it be possible to grab a copy of the manual also (we have worked most of it out, through just using it), but it is always good to have the manual.

Cheers,

I'll drag the copy out of the garage and get my partner to scan it at work. I'll post when it is done and those interested in the manual can give me an email address then to send it to.

Ok I found the manual. It is a new one my Dad bought it when I inherited the unit from my great uncle in 1995.

It cost $14.52 (inc 21% sales tax)+ $2.48 postage = $17

There is 34 Pages. So when my missus goes back to work after Easter I will as her to scan it. She may only be able to do a few pages a day. is there any info anyone wants urgent??

I will take it. (Oops I thought I was in the for sale forum for a minute)

Here is the manual for those that need it. It has been broken into 3 files and attached below:

My Dad found part of the original box it came it ( it was being used as a pin board). Seems this unit was purchased from Anthony Hordern's in Kiera street Wollongong.
Thanks for the manual.

No problem. It is good to be able to give something back to the forum community.

As an apprentice, this is the machine we carted around the jobs.
The rip fence was a real @%$##*#!@, it would not stay parallel to the blade when ripping longish lengths. Other than that, it was handy.

We used one of these in a boat yard when building a couple of sailing yacht's many years ago a good basic machine very handy bit of gear.
Regards Rod.

My Dad bought a Junior Joiner in the 1950s, used it until he died. It was moved around the family as required, I had it for some years as my only power tool apart from a drill. It's now in my son's garage and still going strong. It's built 3 houses and 9 boats, plus countless other projects. The main drawbacks are no blade tilt and the mitre gauge is a pain to use. You couldn't kill them with a brick!
