I have NO affliation with the following!
This guy, Ben Anderson, has developed a web site wherehe is digitizing and providing free copies of owners manuals and other information for woodworking machines. While the OWWM has some, his intention is to offer manuals for companies that they don't offer. He is asking that if you have manuals for machines and the ability to scan them, let him know and he'll point you to a site where you can upload them to the database and make them available to share with other woodworkers.
He just started and is adding new manuals every week.
You can see what's there now at the link provided at the end of this post.
Further, if you're a collector or machine enthusiast, you can also upload your own photos of your tools to share. If you would like to contribute to this free resource for woodworkers, please contact him at: http://www.old-woodworking-tools.net/contribute.html You can send him PDF files if you have the ability to create them or images if you can scan your manuals. He'll also take hard copies that you can snail mail and then he'll do the digitizing and conversion to PDF documents that can be downloaded.
He has several tool manuals from Delta and Craftsman, and is looking for more of each of those as well as tool manuals for Jet, Grizzley, Powermatic, and other companies.
