They usually screw on but note that the left hand side has a left handed thread. it's possible to mount the wheel as one would grinding wheels but not as easy to change as those on tapers

David Yes I did mean Rodico cleaning putty and thank you Peter

Roy

Thanking you

I've got a DAB radio in the car. Never even tried it I find FM more than adequate.

Roy

I totally agree and the tea is good too

Has anyone tried vinegar ?

Yuletide greetings to all.

Diogenes II I would have thought that that would have been on the chuck side of the saddle, but I don't know the Hemmingway setup

Roy

Surely a carriage stop held by that screw would be on the wrong side of the saddle

Peter I fit's not there try up at the chuck end, again on the rear shear

Peter. You're looking at a casting No. On later Myfords the serial No is stamped on the back of the rear shear at the tailstock end. I don't know about the early models

A fibre glass pencil, wire wool a squirt of 3 in 1 and a lot of patience. Some screws in watches are a lot smaller than 14BA and they clean up OK. Sit down with quiet music playing and decent light. Also as Bazyle above says try vinegar

Possibly because they only have a contract with the sender.

ega They may carbide now they, didn't used to be. Had carbide been invented 60 or70 years ago ?

For very small holes I use spade drills. On a course at BHI years ago we were shown how to make them from sewing needles. Over the years I have collected quite a few straight fluted drills

Roy

Apologies for the Pier instead of Plier. Put it down to old age.

Roy
