Thread: Manual for a GMC ML 1000

Hi all, new to wood turning as never done before, I was given yesterday a 'cheap' GMC ML 1000. While I understand that some on these forums say it is crap etc, it was free and it is in as new condition and has with it around 20 hand tools of various shapes, the only thing missing is the manual for the lathe. I was also told by the person giving it to me (who has no more room to keep it in their new home) that while it is not a 'great' lathe as long as you take the time with your wood turning it actually works very well, I guess time will tell

So anyway can I request please an electronic copy of the GMC ML 1000 manual please plus any guides that may have originally come with it. Or if you have hard copy of each and you no longer need I would love to have them if you could post out to me (I will pay postage of course

Secondly as I said it has some 20 odd tools of various shapes etc, is there a good online resource for me to read over that describes what each tool is for and how they are to be used, as said new to wood turning.

If I can get the lathe to work and produce some good (or reasonable) results I may like to continue with wood turning and upgrade to a better lathe later, of which I can ask for all your valuable input.

Thanks

GW
