56 forum posts | Thanks to all for some interesting replies. The question of what the bushes are is interesting. They are certainly sintered bronze and RDG advertises them as Oilite but I suspect the term may be being used generically for anything sintered and I'm not sure how one would tell, short of heating them to drive out oil. By chance I had the opportunity to look at a different S7B lathe and that also has the bushes drilled, so I suspect Myford did use plain sintered bronze and did drill them. |
