Hi burried in one of the boxes that came with my super 7 was this drill sharpening attachment

so after giving it a try on the 59 deg it sharpened ok but the profile (if thats the term) did not look like a normal drill it sloped down a lot on the left hand side !

There were no instruction with it and I set it as best I could, the plate on the front end just above the edge of drill and half drill dia sticking out, so my questions is this finish ok, how should it be set up etc

Hope someone as one or something like it and can advise me.

Thanks H

Thanks for the info Guy's

another quick question the thread dial indicator on my lathe is easily moved which as I plan to screw thread is of concern, it sits on a stud abount 1/4 " dia with a couple of fiber washers and a nut to tighten it. So is this setup the norm is it suspossed to be moved in and out of mesh when needed ? I have noted from pic on ebay the one Myford now supply as three small holes around the center one and the the write up they say supplied with fixing screws and firber washer ! Comments please

think may have sorted it they could be the 'locking' screws AK30 AK31 which are M5x0.

Thanks for the reply need to check out the grub screws I have 2 that are longer than the others in so much as they protude out of the casting a 2BA nut will not screw on so I conclude they were BSF having (around) 32 TPI . I'll take one of the shorter ones out see if they are the same.

Cheers H

found this part in box that came with lathe any idea what it is ?

A couple more questions if it's ok to add onto this thread ! 1. am I correct in thinking the grub screws for adjusting the slide are 3/16 BSF, 2. I have a number of gears wheels and I,m wondering if I have a full set ? I have 30,35,38,40,45,50,60,65,70,75 there are two gear wheels on the 1st stud I have yet to identify so dhould I be looking for any more to make up a 'set' ?

Cheers H

Thanks for the pic shows the oild distribution well

Cheers H

Sorry guy's slip of the tounge like calling a vacume cleaner the hoover !!!

cheers H

Hi Guy's many thanks for your replies have checked out the rear of the saddle as Robbo suggested there is a taped hole there but the grease nipple is missing, the hole is 2BA and quite deep about 1" into the saddle. the hole on top of the saddle could well be 1/4 BSFit is as suggested full of gunge !

Cheers H

Hi and thanks for reply must admit I've been looking on the top of the saddle will look tomorrow for the one in your pic thanks for posting

Hi just joined a looking for a little advice not long aquired a Myford Super 7 and today I was looking at the lub points and on the diagram I have it show a lub point (12) as front shear point and (13) as rear shear point but I dont have No13 on my lathe on the rear of the saddle I have the bolt to clamp the saddle and one other hole which appears to be tapped 7/32 BSF (I think) and does't look if the nipple should fir there anyway.

It's one of those little things that you must have a answer to so suggestiond please.
