Martin Cleeve's Screwcutting Clutch

Martin Cleeve's Screwcutting Clutch

This article was previously published in Model Engineer No. 3557, March 1977, and was drawn to our attention by the letter below submitted to MEW by Alastair Sinclair. Given the high levels of interest in screwcutting clutches for modern lathes based on the Hardinge design in recent years, we felt that this article would be particularly useful for readers.

As promised some more pics of 2x6 inch reflecting binocular scope..

nb.....Sorry I seem to have taken over this thread .... my apologies...

I forgot to mention that collimation of the two mirrors can be done whilst observing, this is a necessity as I have to trundle the scope across rough ground and it gets a good shake up every time..

The pics... rgds....Bob.

Collimation adjustment knob...right tube.

So because one guy did it to your personal lathe, which obviously irritated you, all owners of Myfords have to be tarred with the same brush John? Your previous machinery ownership is completely irrelevant. It read as a smug swipe at all Myford owners. Sorry, but it did.

As a Myford Super 7 owner of 20 or more years standing I can confirm that the first post was funny and that you are far too sensitive, you only have to briefly trawl the net for Myford related threads to find owners agonising over the 'year correct colour' to paint it and the right filler to use before painting and if that don't make ya smile nothing funny will.

Although mine was the correct colour this was simply because it still had the original paint, but it's a Lathe, the colour doesn't matter, what it does is what matters :D
