Myford ML1, ML2, ML3 and ML4 lathes. A complete and very interesting data pack for the lathes with all known literature - increased in size from the tiny originals to A4 for clearer pictures, drawings, charts and diagrams. Comprises six Sales and Accessories Catalogues (including what must have been the first ever, together with the last issued in 1946 that together show all the original extras offered) with one of them doubling as the small but useful Instruction Book with screwcutting charts and a price list. Also included is a very useful Myford instructional booklet for the later ML7 "Lessons in Lathe Work" showing all the common operations possible on these small machines; a 4-page booklet prepared by the factory for the ML2 to ML4 range but apparently never issued titled: "Particulars and Adjustments Concerning the Working of the Lathes and Accessories"; the long article by Tony Griffiths detailing the development of the lathes, their technical specification, suggested modifications and hints as to which parts from other Myford models can be used as spare parts - and a number of recently discovered photographs from the Myford Archives. 97 pages

The Amateur's Lathe

"The Amateur's Lathe". A book in print since 1946, it assumes no prior knowledge and goes through all the basic and some advanced machining processes in a clear and logical way. Hence, it's an indispensable aid to the beginner - or even experienced turner. It includes such useful things as lathe design, the meaning of technical terms, names of lathe parts and how they relate to each other, how to choose a lathe, how to care for it, make adjustments, modifications and improvements. Included are details of how screwcutting and power feeds works and how to set up changewheels to provide a drive. Also included are charts for various pitches of leadscrew as commonly used on small lathes - one suitable for your lathe will certainly be amongst them. Various simple projects are also included with engineering drawings that allow some useful accessories to be made - rotating centre, 4-way toolpost, collet holder, tailstock threading die-holder, carriage length stop, etc. If you want to know about the fundamentals of lathe construction and use, how to set suitable turning speeds how to sharpen tools, set tool angles, read micrometers and verniers, etc.
