Is that the sale price or what the vendor is prepared to pay to have it taken away!

I would say a bit ambitious for a "Newbie"

Twf, I have a taper turning attachment with the fitting instructions which show as far as i can recall a drawing which may be dimensioned? For clarity what do you mean by arm??

Robert Butler

The type of clamp illustrated is similar to the type used to secure lids on metal drums, there seems to be several advertising, but unhelpfully sized by drum capacity. Might be worth a call?

Jak the second image shows the quill to be quite extended, perhaps try lowering the head and reducing the quill extension?

Advertised on HomeWorkshop website marking out table 30" x 36" and benefits from stability thereby solving all the outstanding issues. Advert No. 41458 and reasonably priced!

Hopper, Hear! Hear! well said!

Brilliant Work. Try fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel going off - keeps fuel useable for up to two years,

Mike, no good as it upturns at one end and cannot lie flat as specifically requested by OP.

Donald? try Machine DRO, but it looks as 0.5mm is included on most of their stock items - but you can safely ignore every other division as most would under the circumstances when it comes to over graduation. I'm relieved to note on this occasion there is no requirement for high precision but perhaps more in keeping with an artists "broad brush approach".

Endlessly amusing!

Following the 803cc engine a 948cc OHV engine was used prior to 1098cc.

We must all realise "there's no future in getting old"

It's unnecessary to screw cut the clamp, all that is needed is a good fit to the threaded section - per my original Myford ML7 lever feed tailstock which is still in the workshop. The clamping screw does the rest.

I think you are being unnecessarily sensitive, Jason was using the posts to illustrate a point rather than, I quote "picking on me".

Other members are interested in firearms and associated paraphernalia and one must understand weapons of all types are harmless, it is the application of the weapon which can be harmful. Twice in the last Century without weaponry this nation would have lost the freedoms we now all take for granted.

Preload with the lever and lock the barrel as you would/should with the hand wheel set up. Works fine>

Robert Butler

Ian, thanks for clarifying that, it was the justification I was struggling with, "because the diameter of the hand wheels and the diameter of the tailstock leadscrew makes it a little difficult", this didn't seem to have any relevance.

On the ML7 the hand wheel and trust plate is removed and the device fitted in place. This differs from the S7 where the tailstock barrel is replaced and the attachment fitted with an integral bearing.

What makes sense ???????

Jan, you could mount a small lathe and milling machine on a suitably constructed cabinet with castors which could aid shortage of space. If drawers and shelves are incorporated this helps provide storage for tooling.
