Another thing is that all the knifes etc. mounted are a bit low, so i cant really do 1:43 parts :S

For the manual, which im searching for, i havent found i on the internet (i guess my grandfather threw it away or smth), the only thing i found was 34€ or something on ebay....
You will need something that is tough enough to sand/grind those carbide cutters(knives), they are a lot harder then steel.

You do want your cutter to be at a slight angle, depending on what you are turning inside or out.
To adjust the cutter you'll need to mount it higher/lower with a block, as the one with the machine bolts in your 4th pic.

To bad that buellstrunz site isnt in english.

Wow, Here is a link to all thier Emco PDFs. Thats cool because I didnt have a manual for my Compact 5, thankx its not unusual !
