Thread: My 1st Lathe

Hi, I have just purchased my 1st lathe a Hafco HL 640 manufactured in 1981. Its for home projects & learning how to machine cool things. I'm looking for a user manual & can't find anything on the google search are there any websites that could be helpful.

Look for something similar on the grizzly USA site, great manuals.

Just to add, put in the dimensions in inches in Google adding grizzly lathe, swing over bed and length.
