I can use the machine as a milling device too, correct? What parts will allow for that kind of operation of the lathr.

I’m new to the machining aspect. I build custom cars for a living - there is a tremendous amount of engineering in my career, but I have yet to implement the machining aspect. I’m excited I have acquired this lathe, and can’t wait to get started.

I like the simplicity of the norman tool holder. Do you have any exact dimensions for it?

thank you for the info! What is ally strip?

Also, what do you mean when you say facing a bar to leave no pip?

Is there something I can read regarding setting up the cebtering with shims? I am still a litttle confused on how to set it up!

Are there any tool post holders on amazon which will fit the ml10 without mods? Ive done some searching, and haven’t come yo a conclusive answer on which ones will fit. I’m kind of overwhelmed!

Thank you for the great info! Do you have a link to the tool post you installed on your myford?

Also, where can I purchase HSS blanks to make my own tools?

Thank you for all the info!

Honestly, I have no idea what I need. Which bits should I buy to get started?

I did a cleanup of the lathe and reoiled all the components and such. Which areas in particular should i check for wear? I acquired this lathe from a friend as a gift.

I acquired my first lathe not too long ago -a Myford ML10. I am a newbie to all of this. I’ve done a lot of reading on quick change tool posts. The problem seems to be that the tool posts mentioned require machining to fit the ml10 units - I am just getting into this hobby, and don’t own a mill just yet. I am looking for a tool post with 4 clamping tools (will that suffice for a small lathe like this, or do you recommend more tool holders? Which units will fit without modifications?
