This unit really worked, as witnessed by Britain's foremost re-metaler of vintage-car engine bearings who began his business at home with just such a lathe and attachment. This is the same unit as supplied by Drummonds for their M Type lathe and adapted by Myford after they started manufacturing the latter machine in 1942. A finishing touch, typical of Myfords attention to detail, was the provision of cork mats on the shelves. Once the blocks are secured to the stand the hollow bolts can be screwed in or out to level the lathe bed. The lathe feet fit on top of these hollow bolts.
The blocks are drilled and tapped and fitted with large diameter, hollow, internally threaded bolts into which the lathe holding down studs are screwed. The raiser blocks are 6" long, 4" wide and 0.875" high. The chip tray is 42" long, 15.25" wide and 1.5" deep. The stand is 37" long, 33.5" high and the floor mounting bolts pitched about 15.5" apart front to back. The ordinary Myford stand fitted with a deep chip tray and levelling blocks. Quick-release, lever-operated collet chuck.Ģ-inch deep chip tray with cast-iron levelling blocks Small machine vice for mounting on the cross slide or vertical slide. The inspiration for the Myford dividing head: the pre-WW2 "gear-cutting" attachment sold by Tom Senior, The attachment fits the ML7, Super 7 and ML10 lathes The usefulness of this attachment is limited only by the imagination of the user.ĭividing attachment shown fitted to the earlier type of single- bolt-per-axis swivelling vertical slide.
It not only transforms the lathe into a gear-cutting machine but enables it to mill square, hexagon and other forms and, if employed with the supporting overarm, allows it to cut single or multiple keyways in shafts, etc. With a design inspired by the pre-WW2 "gear-cutting" attachment sold by Tom Senior, and although and expensive addition to the amateur's tool chest, this versatile unit holds it value very well and is in constant demand. A highly recommended addition to any lathe This is a very useful accessory and transforms the feel of the tailstock, especially when performing delicate operations with small drills. Myford-made versions are available for both the ML7 and Super 7 - but not the ML10 lathe. Taper-turning attachment (photographs below) Saw bench assembly for ML7 and Super 7 - but easily adaptable for use on other small lathes. The hardened pin, that flicks back and forth to open and close the clutch, is rounded at both ends to register into its holders - and 29 mm long and 3 mm in diameter. The picture below shows some details of the rather "unusual" engagement mechanism. The unit economised by utilising the brake shoes from the front wheel of a Nottingham-made Raleigh moped, the "Gadabout". Unfortunately, this very useful accessory is no longer sold by the factory - but occasionally second hand units become available and are well worth acquiring. In addition, in later years, Myford offered larger versions of both the plain ands swivelling slides.Ĭlutch unit for an ML7. This slide was made in two forms: the early as shown with a single bolt per axis and a later improved model with two bolts per axis.
