I am hoping at least one of the screw holes will line up.

Here is what its going onto

Thanks a bit late am working on a new project to convert ML10 tail stock to Drummond 3.5" bed. This is the first idea i come up with to cut down the ML10 saddle to bolt onto the Dummond Saddle kike the old one did making a mating surface for the new MT2 tailstock.

Here i s what i started with

Here is the bottom part

Here is it cut down on image software

Interesting but firstly Tony said to use this type of belt he should know. Secondly Pulley maybe wrong way round but its easier to change belt this way round without taking out whole motor or pulley off.

Havent sorted out pulleys as have been two busy writting reports to get in workshop

hi its definaly an ML7 but modified found this trawling

Exactly the same and this cut down one side off and milled thinner

Which looks very similar i didnt know there was two types of ML7 upper bottom slide

Cheers Martin

Yes Howard, yes i know its been said but the final drive pulley on lathe is 4.5 not 4

HI bodge

Hmm am in need of som emore info as am not driving up to a 91/2 pulley as its huge

With my 4.5 on my lathe and 1 " on my motot at 3,000 and looking at two pulleys under side by side as a lay shaft. its hard to find a 4.5" puley so not sure i can use one to 9 1/2 am in need of a differant solution of pulleys.

cheers

Well am getting 113rpm on back gears and 1013 rpm from a 1" to 4.5" drive on a 2939rpm as powered from motor . Am clueless as to figure out lay shaft if these block pulley charts are all rubsh which it seems they are .

How did you work out your pulley sizes bodge ?

Cheers

Cant believe the gearing charts online are such rubbish . Its going to make it hard to work out which pulleys to use to get close to 600rpm any ideas. Will be putting in a second set of pulleys but need to work out what sizes to use as the website data i was using is completely wrong

FOUND THIS ON EBAY FOR ML7

hmm doesnt look similar

Yep you were right the Pulley calculator isnt accurate on the online pages my motor is running at 2939 r.p.m and cannot get any combination of the pulleys on the site to get speed to 1013 r.p.m so think you are correct it does not work

Aha found out why it didnt work had the tape on the outside didnt work has to be on on the diameter poking over edge got top speed 1013 r.p,m and 113r.p.m low back gear . This is why its been heating up the bearings needs to reduce to 600 rpm. so 5" and 4" pulleys here we come me thinks

Well don't worry about buying one of these its not accurate cant understand why anyone would make one that doesnt give continuous readings

**LINK**

ok according to laser guage have 150rpm on back gears and 420rpm on main drive.

Hi dont know it came with it and was in storage for 50 years so not used in a school either to my knowlege. there is no other markings like this save a small 2 or z under tailstock.

Here is the allan bolt in place underneath top saddle

Here is the underneath of the main slide

Cheers

Martin

Nice work , Jason yes think its somthing like that but with a hollow in middle . Nigel have not had tail stock of yet as not sure how to remove it but there was nothing under the gear head like this

Hi Bodge , what the alan bolts hold I have not a clue . I think they removed the rails that hold the top slide .The slide came of without removing them thought it was ml7 but now not sure . Hadn't heard of Winfield but have been searching google images but doesnt look like that either?

Cheers
