Since the old assembly is missing I plan to run it on an electric motor, but I'm pretty sure it isn't going to look as nice as Timtim's. There is nothing mounted in the quill does anyone know if these are Morse tapers or some other fitting? I thought at first the quill was missing from the tail stock but it is just stuck somehow, it rotates a fraction in each direction with the hand wheel but no more, the key underneath wriggles with it so maybe they are bound together somehow. The gapping piece is missing from the bed and the gear assembly that runs parallel to the chuck axis appears siezed (is there a purpose to this cog assembly or does it support the chuck axis?). It doesn't have any change gears with it. The lead screw is seized and most of the teeth are sheared from the cog that powers it. The lathe has had a hard life, the treadle and flywheel assembly is missing and it looks like it was converted to power as there are signs of wear from a belt rubbing from running off from behind. Unlike the one above the bed is longer around 6 feet in length, the poor car was very low at the rear end for the trip back and unloading it by myself nearly killed me. This group is for Drummond and Myford lathe owners to share photos, ideas, buy/sell and to share information on these lathes. Despite the age of these lathes, a surprising number of them are still in use.

I bought a Selig Sonnethal last weekend and picked it up in kit form. Drummond Brothers built lathes in England between 19, when Myford took over the company under wartime conditions. I've just signed up after reading this thread. If anyone interested in any of the above, just shout. Lots more smaller bits and pieces scattered everywhere. Its had one side of the bearings replaced with 3 sealed bearings in a row. A-B min is the total number of teeth on the two smallest gears you can mount in the A & B positions. Enter all gears in the change gear set, including duplicates and the gears that are mounted on the lathe for regular turning.

They were produced until 192O so its doing well to be at least 1OO years old. This calculator will work for most lathes that use four change gears.

It came with a full set of change gears and an extra 7OT. Some of the larger machinery look as if they were installed first, then the sheds build around them. By all accounts drummond lathes have quite the following and can be quite useful things. A Bamford and two of which I have forgotten the make. I think the owner said there were more of these, or similar, stored away.ДЄnd finally three large stationary engines.

Lots of assorted wood planes and a nice boxed Record 405 multi plane. This has a double ended V shaped blade which slides sideways. Can't remember what the green machine in front of it is.ДЄ surface grinder and what we think is some sort of guillotine or maybe metal bender.

According to the excellent .uk, the first example of an H7 bore the serial number 7/101 so this is the 117th instance of this model. Not much room to get good photo's.ДЄ wood turning lathe, band saw, and hidden under the blue tarps a wood planer. This is a Hobson geared head H7 lathe with serial number 7 / 217 that has been fitted with Myford quick change gearbox serial number QC70172.

No idea of the model, plus a hefty looking Harrison. Now you can see exactly how much your computer rack, cryptocurrency miners, electric vehicle charging equipment, or anything else equipped with an NEMA L5-30. Added with permission of the owner.ДЄ large Drummond lathe about 6 foot long. A few more bits, large and small, lurking in and around the various sheds near where the Selig lathe came from.
