    Relocating head on round column mill

    Maybe I'm missing something. Are you talking about the rotation of the head around the column? You are not talking about "sweeping" the table, correct?

    Myford lathe

    Did I miss something? Are you guys saying you or the lathes previous owner broke these gear teeth off by using the back gear to lock the spindle so the chuck can be removed?

    Myford lathe

    Packrat, you should be able to get a back gear. That may bug you, I have a Super 7 and what bugs me is the "small" hole through the head stock. :>)

    Myford lathe

    The prices on the Myford site will include the VAT. If you have the product shipped out of Britain you don't have to pay it. I haven't bought anything from Britain for some time but it was around 20%. Always when ordering ask in it's VAT in. For those of you who don't know, VAT means Value...

    Myford lathe

    I'm on my second Myford. I first had an ML 7 then I had a chance to buy a Super 7. I sold the ML 7 for $1,800 and paid $2,000 for the Super 7. Though both were used, both were in exceptional condition. Most Myford lathes are used to make small parts and therefore usually not in bad shape...

    Shipping US to Canada

    Well the package I talked about was $10.50 so I guess it's a flat rate, $10.50 is OK.

    Shipping US to Canada

    I guessing these are model spark plus. A full size spark plus should cost no more than $2 or $3 to mail to Canada, Europe I guess more. Shipping to Australia is expensive.

    Shipping US to Canada

    By Post I mean either Canadian Postal service or US Postal service. Post office, USPS, CNPS, Royal Mail (if from Britain). The only one I have had problems with is the Italian Postal service, at least 3 month for a post card from Italy to me in British Columbia, Canada.

    Stroboscopic Tachometer app for iPhones - Great for finding RPM’s of your spindle

    Jenny I don't know about why it works but I just down loaded the app when you first put it up and it worked. I plug my phone into my computer once a week or so and if there is an update I let it do it. After reading this earlier today, thinking maybe the program has changed I went and tried...

    On earlier machines (up to serial number K111727), the serial number can be found on the rear shear of the lathe bed, at the tailstock end of the machine. On later machines (after K111727) this will be found on the front of the lathe bed, to the left hand side of the rack. If you go to the...

    machining accuracy

    Hi all I'm not a machinist just a hobbyist. I was always doing wood work until I got involved with Live steam Gauge 1 trains. I inherited a Myford lathe with most attachments and tooling from my Uncle. That started the game. I picked up a very nice knee mill which belonged to a friend's...

    I also think that would be a good idea. Especially in small shops and how others fit everything in.
