Hi All
I am looking for a manual for a Tyzack & Sons lathe.
I cannot fond 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

The very excellent lathes.co.uk may at least provide an ID, but be 
prepared to get side tracked if you are in the least bit interested in 
old machine tools!

Tyzack marketed the Zyto lathe for donkeys years. Since the late 20s
to late 1950s with a break for the war in between. I don't think there
was ever a manual, and if there was I doubt it had more than three
lines in

I obtained one of these machines a couple of years ago
but with no manual.

The only difficulty was the thrust collar at the left hand
end which I tightened up.

As it's plain bearings all the way through, you need to
remember to top up the oil cups each session.
