Hello and good day/evening to all,

I have just purchased a HOUSE OF TOOLS LD 1236G Taiwan lathe, I am looking for the manual or close to manual. This is my very first lathe and haven't touched a lathe since high school. Any info would be greatly appreciated as well as some go to reading and such to help keep me outa trouble, the tube of U I find is awesome but there is nothing like good ole print as an immediate reference.

kind regards, Moose

Looks like the Grizzly one might be close. I don't have a manual for a version with the reversing lever on the faceplate.

Welcome to the forum from Lillooet BC.
South Bend 's "how to run a lathe" is a great resource for the beginner, no matter what brand of lathe you have.
There's a ton of info here in the archives, and if a search leaves you wanting more, just ask. If you ask with a picture of your set up, you are likely to have your answer and more in a short while

I have the Busy Bee version of that machine. I just rebuilt the spindle. Though judging by the ad I suspect you won't need to do that for a very long time.
Where are you on the island?
The Grizzly G1003 is the same machine.

hey,
just north of Nanaimo, I have been looking for a lathe for many years now and am able to finally afford one. I don't have the skill and knowledge to do much and I have an ambition to build myself a nice centre pin reel or three, as well as to modify/repair some of my older ones.

@Dabbler also has the same lathe, had it for years and can attest to its capabilities.

Welcome. Great lathe to have as a first lathe. I had the King Canada version of it and wish I could have one again. Your lathe in the pictures looks like it is in very nice shape?
