Myford ml7 clutch

Hey, I know this is an old thread, but could I have a copy the plans? Thanks

Adam.

First post to MEW forum.

As per Adam's last post, is it possible to get a copy of the plans? I have printed out the article, but drawings would make life easier.

Have acquired a 60yrs younf ML7 which means it is slightly older than I am, but its original Hoover motor is telling that I need a clutch!

Can anyone help please?

Thanks

Hi Richard,

PM me with your e-mail address.

Hi all,

I scanned these drawings a couple of years ago for a chap in Australia, still have the files in pdf, so can send them, subject to server capacity, in short time.

If anyone would like a set, send me a PM with email address.

Thanks for all responses. Really helpful for a new member.

Have PM'd to John.

I've known about (and lusted after) Myfords since I was 14 (Model Engine Encyclopaedia, c1968), and now I have one. Having used a Unimat for 25 years or so for modest sized stuff, its great to have the bigger machine. But size isn't everything and I have a lot of learning to do. In fact the reason I didn't go Chinese (was looking at Seig SC4 and 6's) was mainly that I knew I would be tapping into decades of accumulated wisdom. Seems I was right.

Meanwhile if anyone is remotely interested in what can be done on a Unimat there is an entry in the Gallery on the Model Engine News Dec 2012 page. I am now working on a Mills 075 replica which will have benefitted from both Unimat and Myford. Will broadcast more when finished.

Thanks again.

Richard

Ken,

I have replied to your PM. I need your email address to send the drawings.

Thanks to John C I now have the drawings.

Puzzled by what actually causes the clutch to stay engaged ie spring to force cone into ring. Maybe that will be clear when I print out the dwgs. I can see the small spring providing return pressure for disengaging shaft, but not what forces the clutch closed again. Anyone care to explain? Probably very obvious!

Cheers

Richard
