![]() 2110 forum posts 565 photos | Hi all, I have just retired from toolmaking and as I inherited from my next door neighbour a Myford - Drummond type M lathe, have decided to keep my hand in with a bit of model making etc. I have restored the lathe and am making and buying a few goodies to make it work for me. As part of my Ex-job was servicing the machinery I have quite a good understanding of lots of types of machinery. |
