I'm a newbie lathe operator looks a bit technical.

Thanks guys spot on, got it apart, the funny thing is, one hex head is half a mm smaller than the other across the flats? Thought I might try braising the hex bigger then filling or milling the hex back to the correct size, will this work or am I been a turnip?

Myford 7 super lathe, dickson tool post, the cam bolt has slightly rounded & the spanner will not tighten the tool holder down correctly, how do I take it apart to change the bolt? Can I get parts.

Yes can here the click.

THE OVERLOAD LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT THUS THE LATHE WILL NOT RUN? ho it as a mile on it as well, it will not run ether. power to the lathe but motors will not run, no noise nothing, help.

Spot on" sorted .

thank guys

The switch is a dewhurst & partner ltd hounslow, type A

in forward position it reveres

in reverse position it runs forward

but on a rethink" off is at the back & the switch can't go round to that position so maybe that's the way it works, with the back off the lever pointing at the word.

My myford super 7 lathe single phase, go's in reverse when in the forward position? Can any one help with this problem, my Electrition says he would like more info before he looks at it.
