Hello All,

 

I wonder if there is anyone out there who can help me. Having recently bought a Myford VM-B milling machine, I have scoured the internet looking for a copy of the manual to either print or buy, but I can’t find one.

 

Is there anyone who has a copy and could scan it for me, or copy it for me or I could borrow and scan myself?

 

Thank you ever so much.

Have no idea if your VM-B is similar to a VM-C. If so http://www.lathes.co.uk offers the following:

MM546 MYFORD VM-C Milling Machine (Myford VMC). Operator’s Instruction and Maintenance Manual with Parts as Sectional drawings. Includes a copy of the maker’s Sales and Specification Catalogue and price lists. £20

I have VMB and manual, will let you have a copy.

[P&D StocksParticipant @pdstocks26937]

Thank you John!! Do you need an email address, postal address or something else? Dolly

[John HaineParticipant @johnhaine32865]

I will try to scan it if you can let me have an email address…

[P&D StocksParticipant @pdstocks26937]

My email address is dpstocks@btinternet.com, thank you so much for this!

 

[John HaineParticipant @johnhaine32865]

Could you confirm that you received the email I sent with the scanned file please?

[P&D StocksParticipant @pdstocks26937]

No sorry, didn’t receive the scanned file?

[John HaineParticipant @johnhaine32865]

Aha! I sent it to that email address on Sunday…the file is about 2 Mbyte, could that be a problem? Anyway I’ll re-send it.

[John HaineParticipant @johnhaine32865]

Or will try a file-sharing site that you can doanload from…let’s see what works…

[P&D StocksParticipant @pdstocks26937]

Hello John, Still haven’t got anything. I wonder if you could send a test email just saying hello to see if we get that? I think a file-sharing site sounds like a good plan if we still have no luck. Sorry for causing you all this extra bother! Thank you. Dolly

[John HaineParticipant @johnhaine32865]

Hi, have sent a test message and re-sent the file and uploaded it to a file-sharing site which will email you a link. Something ought to work!

 

Cheers, John.

I have just bought a VM-B as a basket case.

Any chance of a link to the file please ?

P&D Stocks,

Tried to reply to your PM but it won’t accept your name, P&D Stocks as valid.

 

But to answer your question I have received no link.

 

Not too bothered now as all I will be using are the main castings in fact just sawn the head in two tonight and need to do a bit of welding tomorrow !!

[John HaineParticipant @johnhaine32865]

You still want a copy of the manual John?

[John Stevenson 1Participant @johnstevenson1]

I suppose it would be nice but I’m only using the base, saddle,bed and half a head.

Everything thing else is being replaced.

 

Could come in useful for adjusting the non Myford gib strips

I too have a VMB. Is there a secret to adjusting the head gib strips?
