Myford VM-F Mill

[Alan MaughanParticipant @alanmaughan82992]

Can anyone help me with a manual for this machine, it was also sold as an EME VO- A2F and as a Warco A2F but the earlier version with the attached manual gearbox.

My self act on the X axis has stopped working due to a jam on the table while travelling. I could have sworn it was an obvious shear pin issue as Im sure Ive repaired it once about 7yrs ago but I cant seem to find anything this time around and cant remember how I fixed it last time.

Ive spoken to both Myford and .Lathes.co.uk with no success.

I confess to being a little confused. You are after a manual for a Myford VM-F milling machine which, according to lathes.co.uk is remarkably similar, if not identical to a Warco VMC, then you say it was sold as a Warco A2F. Looking for pictures of the latter brings up any number of references but all have the appearance of a Bridgeport clone, both in style and weightiness. If a manual for the Warco VMC will fulfil your requirements, I have such pdf along with the parts manual. PM me with your email address if either or both would be helpful

If the VMF was identical to a VMC then I wouldnt be asking for help, they are two very different machines and the info on lathes.co.uk clearly shows that.

The information I have given is correct, it was badged as a MyFord VMF, EME VO-A2F or an early Warco A2F with mechanical gearbox.

This is the machine I am looking for a manual for, thanks for the offer of  VMC manual but Im afraid it is of no use.

Anyone?

[John HinkleyParticipant @johnhinkley26699]

I stand corrected. Perhaps I should've gone to Specsavers.

Might be worth asking here, as the original poster is still active on there:-

Alan , Have you tried Googling "Manuals Online " ?

The Service Manual has these diagrams but I can't spot any shear pins.

Nor can I get the pictures the right way up – sorry about that!
