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.

Hello Anthony,
 
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.
 
Jim
