19 forum posts 3 photos | Hi I am trying to locate a 2" Tee Bolt for a Myford Swivelling Vertical Slide.
I tried Myford but they only stock parts for the later 2 bolt fixing model.
This is the centre bolt to secure the slide to the carriage.
As my lathe is now stripped for overhaul I was hoping to buy one rather than have to wait and machine one up. Edited By Anthony Spencer 1 on 03/02/2010 12:40:02 |

I had a Myford Swivelling Slide which I used on a Drummond lathe at the time.
I found that when using it, the slide had a tendancy to move, so I replaced the single fixing with two bolts. It seems that Myford have had the same idea.
My bolt had a seperate T nut screwed on the end, which I believe is slightly larger than a Myford one?
In our tradition of 'never throw anything away' I still have the original T bolt which I think is about 1/2" in diameter.
