Myford Lever Action Tailstock Design and Build

Sorry Doug, I missed your post until now. The distance between the hole centres on the link is 2-1/4" .Yes I think you could adapt it to the Speed 10 with minimal changes to suit the diamter of your tailstock body.

The final section of the article, along with the drawings for the link, handle, clamping ball handle and the stop are all in the next edition of MEW, Issue 324, February, which is out now. I did not realise the article had been split into two until just now because they take months to reach me in rural Australia.

Nice one Hopper, well done you

You're now a social media star and can appear on I'm a celebrity and strictly come dancing

Thanks Ady.

Mate, the only dancing I do is when a bit of hot swarf lodges between two toes when I am wearing flip flops in the workshop in summer!

No problem Hopper, I picked up on the second part of the article which I also was not expecting and saw the dimension there.

Has anyone modified a Super 7 ?

The Myord lever tailstock is the same for both ML7 and Super 7. But the Super 7 requires a threaded stepped ring that screws into the back of the tailstock and the regular lever attachment clamps on to that . I don't have the details as I don't have access to a Super 7. There is good info including a drawing in this thread though LINK
