Thanks for everything.

Great forum by the way.

I need to get the lathe of the floor and motor reattached and wired up , after that perhaps this arrangement will solve itself.

Hi Bazyle

Yes 1" increments save the last one which is 1-1/2" longer.

Hi Jason

I don't understand the significance of 'bull wheel' but yes snugly. The blade is on a sprung plunger.

Hi thanks for the interest.

My bag, I told you I was new to this. I think more this way round. On closer examination, very faint is PT No MA68/7. So I know what it is but are the other bits part of it?

The arm with the pin fits the indexing plate perfectly. Also the clip is a snug fit on the rim.

I have only referrd to the rods because they are red, but these bits are the only red tools he had and are definitely the same paint.

Hi Clive

I am at work and so a photo will have to wait until tomorrow but the revers side of the T Slot Plate does not suit that kind of assembly, but thanks for the link, very interesting. Your link shows a way of mounting a dividing head to the rotary table, I shall took for such a thing.

He did make the clock face plates too, perhaps scribing the minutes around the dial.

Hi Thanks for your interest. I may need your help again as there are a lot of unusual tools in this lot.

Dave : Request for more information. I think this is an ML7.

He made a train or two. He ran this round the garden.

In his early 80's started making grand farther clocks when he found a dividing head at a car boot sale. Fly cutting all the gears.

Also painted red but in the photo are a say 8 x approx 8mm dia rods of lengths from 50mm to 150mm threaded at one end. This T slot bed is considerably younger than the lathe.

There is a cap to hold the angled part to the cross slide but nothing to hold the T bed to the angled part.However there are a number of boxes to search through.

John : Wonky arms. One end has a spike and one end a plunger. The plunger could fit the dividing head.

Ady1 : I will look into that and see if they fit.

Thanks Clive

Hi this is my first post.

I am a professional engineer from an old style background, where it was considered a good idea to train young draughtsman how to use machine tools.

My uncle, an accomplished engineer and steam modeler has passed on aged 92, and has left me his Ml7 and a considerable assessment of tools and attachments in his will. I am looking forward to honing those skills acuired many years ago.

So to the question. What is this? It looks to have a part missing. I can't see anything to attach the face plate to the angled piece. It' aa cross slide milling attached perhaps but what are the waky arms.
