As suggested earlier super 7 lathe manual link

Hi from the West Midlands in UK

Would this be the MY 64A multimeter your referring to ?

I have one of the Eccentric Engineering parting-off tool mounted in the rear toolpost on my myford S7 best thing since sliced bread as far as I'm concerned ! Previously I was one of the guy's that struggled with part off but since fitting the Eccentric Engineering parting-off tool I don't have any problems.

I placed an order with them online yesterday and with a couple of hours received conformation and a tracking number

I too am fan of 'This Old Tony' admire his skills but also enjoy the humour he injects into his video's

Sorry cannot make it previous engagement unfortunately

No comment on who's system is better, I fitted a Transwave kit to my S7 very happy with it in hindsight which I'd gone for a slightly larger motor than the .5 HP I went for a the time.

Thanks for all the comments I did have in mind it would be as Paul's drawing but like Vic I have never seen one

I have justed watched a YouTube video the guy was making some dome headed hex screws and he made what he referred to as a 'washer undercut' under the head the purpose was to stop the head from damaging the paint work when tightened. I couldn't see very clearly what he had done and as I am making some hex head fasteners wondered if anyone could explain the technic

Thanks

Very sad news indeed my condolences to Johns family.

HI have been thinking of getting s small mill firstly I have very little room and secondly mainly only need it to maintain my 3" Burrell. I have considered the Sieg SX1L however I was at the midland Model Exb the weekend and saw the Chester conquest Super Mill. I would welcome comments about these machine and do any forum members use these mills ?

Thanks

H

Good luck John

Ian when I purchased my super 7 it came with a couple of die heads which I have since given to a friend to use on his capstan lathe, basically the die head was fitted into a piece of round bar the end of which was turned down to fit into 1/2 chuck I recall having a play the die head was fitted with 5/16 UNC dies I used the tail stock chuck and I used the saddle to 'arrest' the tail stock thus opening the die head the resulting thread seemed fine to me !

Nice one Brian
