Thread: One for the thinkers?

If they have the same amount of play I'd imagine they'd knock the same, unless the difference in weight of components has a part to play, be interesting to see what other people think

Thread: Myford ml7 lathe problems

Hi guys thanks for all the advice and suggestions given, I have tightenend the spindle bearings as there was a bit of movement in the spindle due to this, also I removed the chuck and clocked the spindle it's seems to be spot on, maybe I need to true it up a bit better in the 4 jaw chuck to 0.000 thou, also I could be doing with ensuring it is level on the bench, also maybe I'm expecting to much

Hi I've been having problems with my lathe since I recently got it, it seems to be cutting material in an eccentric, I put this down to a faulty 3 jaw chuck not running true, so put my 4 jaw chuck on got some 10mm silver steel which I assume will be reasonably true/parallel, using a dti I got the material true to within 1-2 thou, I turned the chuck via the drive pulley, touched the silver steel with my cutting tool, when turning the chuck the tool was marking the material and when turned 180 it was missing the material, I'm pretty baffled by this, I hope that someone can point me in the right direction to the solution to this problem and its just me being an amateur thanks in advance for any help.
