Model Forum / General / Models / May 2008Tyzacks & Sons Lathe
Hi All I am looking for a manual for a Tyzack & Sons lathe. I cannot find a model number. However it has a 4 inch chuck, 6 inch face plate & approx 12 inches between centres. Any help would be appreciated. (Can proivide a picture if that will help) Thanks John W Greenhill South Australia > Hi All > I am looking for a manual for a Tyzack & Sons lathe.

I collect old wood working tools ,amoung other things, and I have a few Tyzack hand saws . Kevin B.

Damn; I knew that, but didn't have the sense to point it out. BugBear >> Look on the lathe site under Zyto. > >Damn; I knew that, but didn't have the sense to point it out. > > BugBear Don't bother looking for a Zyto manual - I owned a Zyto (briefly!) and the manual was never written. The most I managed to find was the changewheel chart, which I took a scan of before I sold the lathe on - email me offline if you want me to send you a copy of the JPG. There were one or two articles published in ME on improvements to the Zyto (and boy, did it need them - the rack and pinion sadle traverse was interesting as it works bass ackwards - crank clockwise and the saddle heads for the chick! Way too exciting.). I was originally planning to turn it into a decent lathe, but decided that life was too short and that I would be better off starting with something reasonable in the first place.

He was a relative of James Watt which speaks volumes! I wrote up to Myford because quite a lot is ML2, 3 or 4 and the changewheels and the vertical slide are 'Myford'. In the absence of a manual- people were not expected to need manuals- the best reference is to go back through the old Model Engineers and get out out the 'Martin Cleeve' articles. I still have the vice and vertical slide. Sadly, my efforts to get the Cleeve articles onto the net were 'screwed up' by Magicalia. I still have the little ML manual on file- if it helps Cheers Norman >was interesting as it works bass ackwards - crank clockwise and the >saddle heads for the chick!
