Myford Clone

[MozamPete]

Looks like a Colt. They were clones that came out of China - pretty good clones from what I've heard. I stumbled across one very similar in New Zealand so they obviously got around.

Check out my Myford Clone lathe that came with Faceplate, 3 and 4 jaw, fixed and travel rests and an extra set of change gears for cuting threads which include the metric set Works awesome!

Lathes UK has a section on Myford clones http://www.lathes.co.uk/myford-copies. Scroll down for a picture of a "Colt" lathe which looks identical to yours. In fact, the picture looks so much like yours, that if it wasn't for the fact that yours has a black and yellow belt change chart, and the one on the Lathes UK has a black and white chart, I would have thought that is is an actual photo of your lathe.

Here is a Myford thread cutting chart:



Sorry, but the forum scales it down.
The original is more than 3000 pixels wide.
Write me, if you want the original file.
