Default Re: Myford Super 7 Crossslide Woes
Dick,
Last week I converted a non powered cross feed S7 as a project for Arc so they can do the kits for both S7 and ML7's.
It can be done on the lathe with a bit of a bracket and the 4 jaw, you need a boring bar that can open the 1/2" hole up to 3/4" and be able to back cut.
all the work is done on the bracket, the rest, screw and dials etc are un touched.
Once adjusted it silky smooth and absolutely no backlash from the bracket.
I still have everything handy so if you want your bracket doing give me a shout and I'll do it and fit the bearings.

Is it possible to get information on what needs to be done and what parts are required?
