Myford 4-inch Precision (MF Series 1940s). Unfortunately no manual was ever issued for this lathe but some very rare and interesting sales literature survives: a perfect copy of the main 6 page edition with a separate 2-page price list; a second 6-page edition in poor condition, a perfect 3-page catalogue and a single sales sheet. These are the only known technical specification sheets for the 4-inch Myford, a lathe manufactured from 1940 to 1944. A useful book to help with this lathe is; "The Amateurs Lathe".
The Amateur's Lathe
The essential lathe book that gives a complete breakdown of all the facts about parts and functions that a beginner needs to know. Carefully written articles guide you through the process of choosing a suitable lathe and how to use it successfully - while further instructions, leading to more advanced exercises and projects, are also included.
