![]() 23121 forum posts 1360 photos | Paul, Forgive me if I reply with a question ... does such an item exist ? I hope it does, but: So far as I am aware the ML10 screwcutting arrangement is fairly basic, as described on p10, here. MichaelG. |

![]() 9 forum posts 19 photos | Hi, A tumbler reverse was described on ME on the mid 70's I think. I made one for the ML10 I had at the time it did involve cutting a slot out of the change wheel cover. All told a good mod. I also split the leadscrew and put a dog clutch in it. Search the ME ondex for mods to the ML10 and I am sure you will find some interesting articles. Brian |

![]() 814 forum posts 36 photos | Not long after I bought my Speed 10 version I bought a tumbler reverse from an independent supplier. That was a long time ago and I doubt whether such an item is still available. It did involve cutting a little bit out of the change wheel cover and may well have been based on the ME article mentioned. It has been on my lathe ever since and works very well If it is any use I can take a picture. I'm afraid I have lost all details of the original supplier, but there may be somebody out there who has one they don't need. Doug |

137 forum posts 1 photos | If I remember correctly Dave Goodwin was the supplier of a neat tumbler reverse accessory for the ML10; I don't think he supplies it now but might be worth asking him? |

Robin is quite correct - Dave Goodwin did indeed supply such an item. The only modification to the machine was to cut a recess in the change wheel cover. Worthwhile if you can find one. Norman PS. You can also see in the photo my "home made" version of the leadscrew clutch - another useful mod. Edited By NJH on 21/08/2015 11:05:52 |

Norman - More or less what I plan for the Adept leadscrew, that photo will be a useful reference. Neil

3631 forum posts 160 photos | They provided an extra stud for cutting left hand threads rather than a tumbler reverse. They show the arrangement on lathes co uk.
If the lathe is being set up for a specific thread this isn't that inconvenient really. Yuck that is the clamp up bearing model rather than the later one which used taper rollers which can be replaced fairly easily. John - Edited By John W1 on 21/08/2015 15:25:42 |

33 forum posts 18 photos | Hi everybody, I always wanted to add a tumbler reverse to my ML10, buying or making one. Didn't know about the Dave Goodwin one, but another was sold by mr. Dave Noble: when I contacted him (2010), he hadn't any of them anymore and subsequent requests to buy some form of drawing got no replies. Another model of tumbler was described by mr R.G.Seiman on Model Engineer (19 october 1979) in the following interesting article:: I found these pics on the web some time ago, so I can't give credits to the people who uploaded them.. After seeing the model shown in Robbo's post, I think I have no more excuses and I have to decide which one I'll make. Cheers, Massimo

![]() 2314 forum posts 139 photos | Massimo Yes - quite right Dave NOBLE it was - my excuse is advanced years and knowing a Dave Goodwin in the dim and distant past ! It was a useful mod - especially as it was possible to select the mid position and remove the drive to the lead screw. That done it was much quieter and, by disconnecting the lead screw by means of the lead screw clutch, a fine hand feed to the carriage could be made by means of the leadscrew hand wheel. Still remember my ML10 with affection! Norman |

6 forum posts | HI I've got one of these Noble tumbler reverse levers...but with stripped wheels! Can anyone point me towards where I could find replacements? Cheers Stewart |

21 forum posts 18 photos | Sfurini ... RDG tools or go direct to Myford ..I have the opposite problem ..I know where to get the gears but dont have the Noble tumbler handle! Matt |

6 forum posts | Thanks Matt I've found a couple of 20 wheels on ebay - an 18 and 20 tooth set were being sold for the ML7 and it occurred to me that I could ask for two 20 wheels. I've had to go with a metal 25 tooth wheel but I think with the plastic 20 wheels I've got I'll be ok. Cheers again Stewart |
