This unit suffered from a tendency to jam and an inability to bring the T-rest close enough to the centre line for the turning of slender items such as lace bobbins.
Unfortunately early versions of the lathe were fitted with a simple bed-mounted tool rest with an open slot down the centre. Both machines shared a similar speed range running from around 175 to 2400 r.p.m. 2 Morse taper spindle was fitted with both a lock to ease the fitting and removal of spindle-nose accessories and a 24-division indexing plate. Running in what the makers described as heavy-duty taper roller bearings, the No. Arranged to swing through 180°, the cast-iron headstock had indents at 0° for between-centres work, at 45° for small bowls and cups at 90° when it faced forwards to utilise the front-mounted bowl-turning attachment. 1 is usually, but not always, found finished in red and black while the Taiwanese-constructed, variable-speed Mk.

Hi guys I've made some progress but only a little.First things first the Myford has been moved to its new home for now till I build a bigger shed.Allowing me to work on it in peace and not have the Wifes sewing room filled with tools and rust lathe parts.Anything for an easy life.Next I got a wire wheel and started stripping down the smaller parts removing the rust and left over paint.Email: t Machine Tool Archive Machine-tools Sal e & Wanted
(I might contact them again to price them up.)So aside from being a personal Teddy today I did strip down my Tail Stock.Here is a little how to.
My eldest slipped in the shower last night and bumped her noggin so I've been Comfort Dad for the day.I did however have an awesome delivery from Mr Postman.I also made a call to Myford LTD to ask if they had any ML8 Indexing plungers but alas they have only got a few face plates and some spindles.

Just a small update today as I didn't get much done. Well done so far.I'd wondered, although Myford may not list the ML8 whether a call to them may bring some likelihood as too what/how they could help you out.Cheers David. I've had an odd drive need a bit of persuading before now, as you'd done.Can see this as being an interesting thread and very rewarding. You did do well, and not a problem popping the spur drive, albeit some rust and a tight fit, it is a taper after all and unless the machining doesn't match should release, normally with a sharp tap with a knockout bar, wonder how much force can be applied normally as a dead blow, depend on if it's a 4lb lump hammer or not.
