Manual or Service Info sought for Myford lathe

Jul 09, 2007 6 Replies

Hello All,



I am new to this group and new to owning a lathe (although I have used lathes many years ago).



I have just bought a Myford M-Type which is apparently very similar to a Drummond M-Type. Mine was build in 1948 and is serial number J5233.



I am looking for any information on it so that I know what bits to lubricate and what to lubricate it with. I see that Tee Publishing have some info for the Drummond M-Type and wondered whether that would be useful on a Myford M-Type? - Unfortunately Tee are not sure themselves.



Any help would be appreciated.



Best Regards Martin

I *might* be able to provide a copy of a Drummond M type manual although it's some years since I owned one. I'll have a look. However there's a useful and friendly Drummond Yahoo group at

Thank you very much Charles, received and printed - It looks ideal and already, several of the odd looking bits in the various boxes have names...!

Very kind of you to send that to me.

All the best Martin
