Thread: Reaming morse taper sockets
26/01/2017 19:39:50

Funnily enough I spoke to Tracy Tools on Monday about their MT Drills. These are advertised in their catalogue but not on the internet, hence the phone call. The drills are now out of stock and they have been unable to find another supplier, the drills were described to me as proper taper drills, that is helical like a drill, and not roughing reamers.

Thread: Lathe Bedway Regrind
03/07/2009 09:49:38
I literally bumped into Brian Caddy at his grinding machine by mistake. After introductions I left my lathe with him for regrinding. Two days later it was ready for collection with the bed ground and the apron skimmed for positioning of the lead screw. The bed has the inverted V so is more complex than say a Schaublin or Myford. So far I am very impressed with the work but it will not be until final assembly that I will be able to document the results. Brian started his own business, Slideway Services Ltd, 02476 327874 or www.slidewayservices.co.uk.

Thanks everyone for the comments so far. As you probably guessed, neither Lexter Machine Tools or KLJ seem to be inexistence anymore although the business's could be running under another name. Googling obviously does come up with a lot of information but provides no answers, if it had, I wouldn't be answering the question. KMZ doesn't come up at all. Thanks Ian for the connection to Unislide Grinding. Brian Caddy has since left but I spoke to Tony Clark of Clark Machinery the parent company of Unislide. He tells me that they can do bedway regrinding but they have no dimensional data for this particular Lorch, I would have been surprised if they had, Anyway it's a good lead which I shall be following up.

Is it still possible to get non Myford (say Lorch) bedways reground? Does anyone have information on companies that have the knowledge, experience and tools to regrind 40 yr old lathes?
