    Default Record Lathe Set Up

    Hi,
    Has anyone got installation instructions for a Record 3AS lathe (blue) which I've just bought and need to re-assemble? Whilst the solid steel rods are symmetrical the rest of the gear isn't. The clamps and rod stands seem to be slightly different front/back. i.e. the rod stands have 2 bevels on one side and one bevel on the other!
    Many Thanks

    G'day Liz,
    I went and had a look at my record CL3 AS, it seems to have symetrical supports. if yours are different i would just assemble it making sure that the single and double bevels are on the same rod, to make sure that the rods stay parrallel to each other. if you want a copy of the manual , i might be able to dig mine out if i start looking. let me know i'll see if i can scan it and email it to you

    Wink Manual from record in UK

    Hi Liz
    I managed to score a new Record about a year ago - still to put it together - been waiting till I finish the workshop...
    Anyway - when I did, I also had no manual - got onto their website, sent them an email asking for a manual (praised the gear a bit etc!!) & they emailed a PDF version of the entire manual... great service.
    Try this link:
    http://www.recordpower.co.uk/index.pl?c=LATHES
    They have downloads available for all their current lathes on that site.
    If you don't do any good on the site - just send them an email from there.
    Good Luck

    Thank you so much for all the replies. I did assemble the machine at the week-end although not game yet to turn it on! The head and tail stock don't quite match up, about 4mm's out, another reason for the manual!!
    As per your suggestion, I've emailed Record as well to see if they can assist. Mind you I had to use my old UK address to get past the validation on the post code!

    Default Record Lathe setup

    Hi Liz
    My CL2 36 manual says the single pad or bevel as you call it goes to the front of the bench.
    Welcome and enjoy your great lathe.

    I was cleaning up some old boxes yesterday in the garage and found my instructionmanual for my record lathe. If you still need a copy, let me know and I will scan it for you.
