L AST WEEK production of the most successful ever lathes for model engineers ended at the Beeston works of Myford. We look back to its beginnings and trace development of the iconic lathes to date. The Myford Engineering Company was founded by Cecil Moore in 1934 in a rented room in a lace mill in Beeston, Nottinghamshire. Bus Games here. Contoh Program Inventory Berbasis Webkinz here.

Within ten years Myford occupied viturally all of the old mill. The business set out to manufacture small lathes for the amateur market. Those early ML1 ML2 ML3 and ML4 lathes were to be replaced from 1946 with the famous ML7 which, along with its successors, set the benchmark for model engineers’ lathes. The ML7 was extraordinarily popular as the one and only lathe developed for model engineers, which by using accessories could do as much work on one machine as complete workshops. That remained the case until the introduction of cheap imported machine tools saw increased use of home milling machines. Cecil Moore was succeeded by his son John and then grandson Chris.

The ML7 Lathe was launched in August 1946, the basic bench lathe retailing at £34.00. The ML7 was so successful that it saw the immediate demise of its predecessors the ML2 and ML4. The Myford ‘M’ type, a Myford version of the Drummond ‘M’ type, cost £42.00 and production of this was discontinued in 1949. Over its 33 years production run, the ML7 stood the test of time remarkably well. While there were numerous minor changes, the number of major design changes were very few. In July 1969, a cast lug was incorporated into the headstock. The lug is situated just behind the spindle nose and its initial purpose was to act as an anchor point for the optional lever operated collet attachment.

In later years the same point would be used as a pivot point for the chuck guard. In May 1972, the existing carriage was converted from the narrow guide to the wide guide principle. On the earlier machines the saddle located across the front two shears and on later models across the full width of the bed, the 5/8' diameter leadscrew and die cast apron were retained.
