Thread: Drummond pre-B type lathe (1/4 scale)
14/03/2017 10:57:00

This is indeed an interesting project and I also would be interested to know how it is progressing, particularly as I have two Drummond pre-Bs, one on an original treadle stand. When I needed to replace a small cast-iron component I carved a pattern in lime-wood and found a small local foundry (in Derbyshire). For a small charge they made me two castings which I was then able to finish off at home. Would this approach work with your quarter-scale lathe bed?

Thread: Drummond Shaper

Yes, I can tell you exactly how to do this! The captive leadscrew nut is attached to the underside of the table by two screws. If you wind the table along to the extreme end of the slideways you can access and remove one screw from below through a hole underneath the casting. Then wind the table along to the other end of the slideways in order to remove the second screw through another hole in the base of the casting. That's the leadscrew free and you can now slide the table right off.

I hope that this helps. I have recently carried out a complete restoration of my Drummond J-type shaper so I might be able to offer more help if you should need it.
