Hi,

Thank you for all of your replies and advice. I think i'm going to try and use a aluminium weld rod, possibly: **LINK**or Lumiweld and hope it will hold up untill I can fabricate a new one.I'll try and fabricate a new one on the lathe once I get it operational. I think the PXF bracket will be to long for the cross slide feed screw.

Thanks

Here are the dimensions, they are not the most accurate as it is hard to mesure in 2 pieces. Thanks for the replies and advice Noel and John

Thanks for the response MichaelG,

I'm Probably going to try and solder it and see if it holds up

Thanks

Hi,

I am trying to work out the material of a Myford super 7 cross slide endplate non power feed as it is broken and I was woundering if it is possible to weld it. Currently I carnt seem to find a replacement online as myford have sold out of the raw castings.

The part I have is non magnetic, feels to heavy to be aluminium, is cast, and does not spark when touched with an angle grinder.

Also does anyone know if the Power cross feed endplate would fit a non power cross feed lathe

Any help will be much appriciated

Thanks

Sorry for not replying. Thankyou for the pictures they have been very helpful. I have just realised that the clutch casting is also had parts chipped off so I may have to replace the countershaft and clutch.

Thanks

HI,

If you post some close up pictures it would be great as i have the broken countershaft arm although it is in three parts and I could compare them.

Thanks

Hi,

I have recently acquired a Myford super 7 Mk1 but it has a broken countershaft arm and drive belt cover. Will a Myford super 7 Mk2 countershaft arm fit on a Mk1?

Thanks
