I have same problem. regards

I'm here MichaelG. I agree, 2 new gears needed.

I do not have a mini lathe. It looks like the half nut is either stripped or is not engaging with the lead screw. Are there a lot of chips in the halfnut stopping it engaging?. Only stripping out the apron will give the correct answer.

When we were kids did we not scorch the ends of our arrows black to make them harder ?

I have a 2hp mill and have used 1mm drill bits on that. Never snapped one off so it must be pretty sensitive.

Yes I watch jerryrigeverything now and then. Now that is a story of love & determination. regards

Hi this looks like a duplicate post. Could be a bit of a PITA. Might be best to take one down.

Hi Giovanni. Welcome to the forum. Sorry I do not have a Myford so cannot be of much help. It would be better to start a new thread so answers can be posted to it so as not to confuse the original posters query.

I would personally go for all pushin fittings & plastic tube. So much easier to use as long as the tube is cut square. John Guest, Parker Legris or Aignip are available every where. If you have no local supplier and want to buy online with out using Ebay try here >> Hose & Hydraulics

UK supplier in East Midlands. Huge selection & 99.9% from stock.

I have a Noga and 2 cheap versions. The Noga is perfect as it should be for the price. The 2 cheaper items now work very well after stripping and fettling them.

I am with Howard on this one. Use an 2MT drill shank to massage the bumps out.

Highly unlikely that the damage is so bad that a good lapping will not bring it back to usable condition.

IanT 01/01/21 " and I'm afraid my tubes of Super Glue don't seem to have a great shelf-life once opened (I'm probably using the wrong kind?). "

Hi Ian. I find that keeping the super glue in the fridge door behind the wifes pickle pots seem to make it last a very long time. Just allow it to warm up a bit before use then straight back in the fridge.

Graham Stoppani 03/01/21 "1. A laser based quantum computer has completed a calculation in 4 minutes. Doesn't sound much until you compare it to the time a traditional computer would have taken of 2.56 billion years."

I wonder how long it took to work out how long a traditional computer would take to do the calc' ?

Yes it could. Over the years I have seen PC's, Monitors, Electronic calculators and £25000 robotic reciprocating powder coating arm that would not run after a PAT test. Difficult to prove that it was the test that killed them though.

I presume that the washer is in an indusrtial setting as home appliances are not liable to be PAT tested

Take your board to a local TV/PC repair shop, they may be able to change the duff component much cheaper that a replacement.

Best thing to do to stop it happening again is to wire the item direct to an outlet. ( no plug) It is then not liable for a PAT test.

You could at a pinch straighten the feedscrew. Remove it and hold the threads in a vise use some protection for the thread. Put a close fiting pipe over the bent end and pull gently on the pipe to straighten out the bend. With a bit of judicial force you should get a decent result. Make sure that the bend is close to the vise and dont try to yank the bend out be slow & carefull. Slowly slowly catchee monkey.

Good luck. regards

All best wishes for a healthier happier new year to one and all.

Paulimot has them in Germany. Should be available by post CK3

May be other suppliers around.
