Help Needed with Router Lathe
Just been given a Vermon American Router Lathe, part number 852. Anyone got any ideas where I can download a user manual from please? Tried the manufacturers, but they have failed to answer emails. Many thanks

How about a Google search for 'router lathe'. Anyway, they are not rocket science to figure out. Just assemble it by seeing what fits where and to operate it will be clear.

Searched Google as my first port of call - couldn't find what I needed. Will just have to play and hope for the best. Thanks for your suggestions though

There's plenty of references to the Trend Router Lathe on Google, is it like yours?

The company is probably called Vemont American

The only 'Vermin' Americans I know of are a few politicians.

Snowcub,
I have a router lathes but no manual. I bolted a small Elu plung router to the plate inserted a blank and turned the handle. The first attempt was like a spline shaft, the second a spiral. I only have pictures on the side of the box to use as a guide.
I will drag out the digital camera in a couple of day they may help

Have a look on eBay for a while - there are some Vermont items offered for sale with manual and if you ask nicely maybe you can get a copy of the manual (for a fee I would assume).... The other suggestion would be to ask Vermont direct - they have a support centre on their website, there are manuals there but not for the router lathe.

They are pretty much play and figure out to be honest. Hard to put the wrong thing in the wrong spot.
A good router is the key, grunty and reliable.
I've had one for a year or so and, after many modifications by my father in law, I can almost repoduce the same cut in the same path.
Beware, lots of sanding for hollow spirals my friend.
Check my string for results. http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ad.php?t=34441
If you have any questions, help where I can.

Help Needed?
I have a router lathe manual, it may not be suitable for yours. I have it in PDF format so if you want it, just email me, and I will send it.
