MYFORD 254S Lathe

[Andre ROUSSEAUParticipant @andrerousseau66124]

Hi Guys, can anyone help?

Does anyone have a copy of the Myford 254S Lathe factory manual and who would be good enough to e-mail me a copy of the electrical wiring diagram. Specifically, I am informed that this model came equipped with DC injection-braking, as standard. I would like to see the circuit arrangements of this feature.

       ………….and before anyone says “why not contact Myford’s directly”…………..I did this ages ago and have never received a reply. Not only Myford’s but I am amazed at the number of companies who invest thousands in setting up whiz-bang web-sites and then consistantly fail to respond to customer e-mails. Incredible isn’t it?

Hello Andre, sorry I can’t help with the wiring but your comment about company web-sites hit a nerve. After many hours trawling through the SKF bearing web-site cataloque I found 4 precision hybrid bearings suitable for my project. The SKF distributor for my area could not get any useful response from them and I e-mailed SKF head office, guess no reply. Eventually found some on the GTBA web-site. It seems unless you are spending thousands of pounds the large companies dont want your custom. Hope you get your wiring sorted.

It’s not DC braking, it’s the same electrical connection they use on their email server, just slow.

Better late than never.

Think I can oblige if you are not suited, Andre.  I assume you would want 240v 1ph diag.

 

Let me know, it may take a day or so to get it scanned – better than doing it by photo.
