And on the purpose made raising block - endless possibilities! I have the original sheets and instructions such as they are. PM if you would like a copy.

Steve

Did you start the jaws correctly and in sequence when replacing after your clean up?

With no inserts is it a copper hammer?

Robert Butler

Jim, if it's new from Warco take it up with them.

Unless I'm missing something Minimag are still able to supply ignition systems?

Robert Butler

Hemmingway still list the kits, perhaps a phone call might help?

Bump

The second and third images show the mill on the weak pallet perhaps in the vendors garage/home workshop (block walls).

The fourth image shows the mill in the vehicle on the original weak pallet.

The first image shows the debris on a more appropriate pallet presumably repackaged following collapse of the original pallet and now located in the recipients garage/home workshop (brick walls).

Defective packaging by sender, carriers exclude damage caused by defective packaging which seems to be the likely cause.

I doubt once fitted you will ever use the Handwheel option again.

I fitted out my ML7 with LFT and never looked back, when i acquired my S7B i did the same.

Robert Butler

If you have purchased the Genuine Myford lever feed for the ML7 there is not much effort involved swapping from screw feed to lever feed. Remove hand wheel, the thrust plate securing screw and the thrust plate. Simply attach lever feed - 10 minutes at most, unlike the Super 7 which is more involved and requires the tailstock barrel swapping.

I think the pictures are missing!

I have no knowledge of the operation of the collet chuck system used for repetitive work which I think the OP is referring to.

Ivy

Fit and alignment are critical.

Robert Butler

Correct! If an attempt to correct a fault without "reference" to the supplier is made potentially bridges have been burned.

Robert Butler

As it's new refer back to the supplier.

I'm gasping for an update

Of interest to me. Perhaps the "apparent lack of interest" results from members not bookmarking the thread and missing updates, which as you are busy progress tends to be a little spasmodic like most of my projects. Hopefully you will continue updating.

Where?

Robert Butler

A significant amount of work and ingenuity required to obtain a section of steel 5" x 3" x .25".
