Drummond (& Myford M-Type) Lathe Accessories
Drummond Home Page

Not all Drummond accessories were included in the maker's sales literature. If any reader has what they suspect is a Drummond item and not shown here, the writer would be interested to know about it


Drummond literature is available



Top-slide mounted high-speed grinding attachment for internal and external work. The unit was driven from the "overhead".

Cross-slide-mounted Capstan head  for repetition production work

The very rare con-rod boring jig. This was bolted to the cross slide and had an adjustable V-block at the back that could be slide forwards and backwards to accommodate rods with centres of up to 10 inches in length. The rod was secured by its gudeon pin in the V-block and the big end raised and lowered by an adjustable locking pad.

4-way toolpost. First offered during the 1930s, this unit dropped over the (internally threaded) post used by the ordinary Norman-patent toolholder

The unusual travelling steady that bolted to the back of the saddle - the rectangular gap allowing the cross slide to pass through it

M-type fixed steady

Saw bench assembly

M-Type Toolpost grinder

The rare - and desirable - tumble-reverse mechanism used to provide a reverse drive to the leadscrew



Foot Motor. An accessory used when a lathe was mounted on the owner's own bench

Bench countershaft unit as offered for the Myford version of the M-type

Handrest supplied as part of the standard equipment from 1902 until around 1929

Some accessories never made it into the (known) publicity literature. This dividing unit, which uses standard changewheels and the same spindle nose as the lathe,  has been found with several of the smaller Drummond machines

Probably an original Drummond item - the general design and "texture" of the castings suggests it is - this swivelling milling slide is particularly rare

The unusual Walram attachment. See this page for full details.
Used to provide a left-hand threading drive to the leadscrew, the Walram could also be assembled to give an ultra-fine carriage feed by means of an additional compound reduction where two gears--one large and one small--are pinned together on a common shaft. Normally the Round bed would have been limited to two such assemblies but with the Walram in place three could be built
