I found another thread on the forum which explains some changes which allows the kit to be used with a cross feed. It involves reducing the width of the rail so the saddle can slide over it. Has anyone tried this approach?

Good point Baz. That saves some machining as well.

Thanks Bernard. The photos are really helpful. I understand now that the slits in the drawing are showing the cuts of the Saddle and Guide rail clamps although in your version you haven't split the Saddle clamp. Is that correct?

Also I understand that when you use the stop you clamp the stop block to the guide rail, but how is the saddle clamp used? Is it just clamped in place when you are setting upand then release during operation?

Thanks again - Jonathan

Thanks for the rapid response folks.

Bazyle - here are the pictures of the casting.

Hi

Has anyone made and installed the Hemmingway multi position saddle stop kit on their Myford 7. I'm fairly new to model engineering and am having difficulty understanding the plans. In particular the main block needs to be split in a couple of places but I'm not sure where. Has anyone got any photos of the build or final product which would give me a clue?

I've phoned and emailed Hemingway but they haven't answered.

Any help would be much appreciated..

Many thanks - Jonathan.
