Good evening all, those who have a lever feed tailstock with "bits" missing have the ML7 lever feed, the missing "bits" convert it to enable use on the S7.

Nicely made tool.

It is important if it is used for lubrication, otherwise it wouldn't be there.

CT if the estate is significant I would obtain the valuation in writing, even if zero and hand to the solicitor but keep it with the estate papers. HMRC are increasingly looking at valuations and "missing" estate property and are not noted for their stupidity. I have acted as an Executor on five occassions over the last 50 years and am reasonably up to speed with Protocol.

CT the parts may not be as elusive as you think. There appears to be an owners club - but it has a far wider membership and appeal. Potential buyers would die for a machine as complete as this. Don't you dare scrap it!

If you have a split bearing puller which you can use to encircle the lower pulley that may spread the load over the entire base of your recalcitrent pulley.

There are earlier postings regarding the incompatability of toolholders for Quick Change Tool Posts and I have first experience of this. The clue is in the name "Myford", their own toolposts and toolholders are compatable, the rest are variable.

Obviously not as Nicolas is making use of the short stubs!

Unlikely to fit in the valve chest, My side valve spring compressor fits in the chest and only compresses the spring. It does not exert any pressure on the valve. It resembles a pair of spring compasses with forks on each arm which are slid on the the coils top and bottom and the screw with butterfly nut tightened to compress the spring. Side Valve cap security methods differ the simplest being a cap with a slot which slides into a groove in the valve, the dished perimeter of the cap bearing on the valve holds everything in place.

As regards OHV and OHC I have already stated it will compress valve springs on any accesible cylinder head rather than every cylinder head.

I have one, purchased as and used for compressing valve springs. Used to remove valves from any cylinder head which will accomodate it. The treaded end engages the valve head and does not require a protective button. Valves are hard, the thread is soft.

The one shot lubrication is also a potential issue with DRO as well as reduced travel. Suggest rebuild and observe carefully where everyhing needs to go as you may find location and clearance issues.

Robert Butler

Watch out for DRO if you fit one shot oilers, particularly on the rear of the table and allow for a potential reduction in cross travel (column).

Thank you Gentlemen

Proof to the satisfaction of the Courts can be elusive.

Robert Butler

I would urge caution or you could be faced with huge legal costs attempting to prove what you say is true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+ 100 keep them coming

No! not in terms of any meaningful repeatable accuracy. Respectfully suggest you read the postings above.

Surely if the quill is bent it would not be possible to lower it? As advised before strip out the quill and check measurements or seek specialist help to check and repair?

The OP stated the outside jaws suffered the same problem
