Drummond oddities

A Drummond metal muncher from 1914, wow

The countershaft system looks "unusual" to this hobbyist (in other words I don't understand it but I'm sure it works)

A few possibly original bits from a long time ago too, a nice new motor to run it and a 1 inch spindle bore (drool drool drool)

Probably wise not to wear a kilt when using that ^^^

Hi I added a 3rd arm on my Drummond to get a slower feed Click on my photos  to see the other parts added Nobby

Nice work Nobby, have one spare too I had to take it of to fit the tumbler I have.

Fixed my ML10 mount onto the bottom Drummond saddle not very elegant yet but suffices to take up the distance giving me a new amount .

Now have a smaller amount to remove

Quite clever by the look of it. The motor is over the back out of the swarf zone but the countershaft is in front of the lathe where you can get to it easily without stretching over the machine to reach it. As noted, kilts or flowing skirts maybe not a good idea while turning.

ML10 conversion

Doesn't look original though - cobbled together from Picador plummer blocks and angle iron.

That looks suspiciously close to 2.54mm

... But, unless Martin is using a telecentric lens, it's less.

I allowed a bit for that, I reckon the apparent 'reading' is about 2.7 but it's not easy to be exact

Yes of course, Neil
