Hi Alll --- just let you know A & R Precision have some more Myford & Boxford UK made dickson tool holders on Ebay

**LINK**

UI have bought these and they are spot on and far better than the imported clones. A little more expensive but well worth the extra in my opinion.

Cheers John

Yes, there's a new batch been made, currently only being listed on eBay. Price for this run is between £14 and £15 each for the holders depending on how many you buy. I bought four more this morning but note they won't actually be shipping until the first week in January. A & R Precision were the company who made them for the old Myford shortly before they ceased trading.

Argh! It's only tool holders, not toolposts. Hopefully the tooposts will appear later.

Joe

Toolposts will be available in the middle of January 2013

Note how the MYFORD name does not appear in the Ebay ad.

How sad that you have to withhold the truth in this day and age!!

Would have been nice to see Myford alongside Boxford or even

the origins of the original contract as posted earlier within the ad.

Colin, you know the reason aandr do not own the Trademark.

I can't see how "made specifically to fit Myford 7 series lathes" or something similar could offend anyone?

i had to machine 1 . 2 mm off the bottom to get it centred using 10 mm tip cutters the ones with W on are fine.

There would not have been a problem with "Myford Compatible" or 'Made to fit Myford'. They cannot call them 'Myford' because they are not. In the same way that a Nissan cannot be labelled as a Bentley. Copyright and Trademarks have been protected snce the year dot to prevent forgery (tell that to the Chinese!).

Seasons greetings,
