There's still leadscrews under H Block Pete or at least there was in Feb this year. I might make some excuse to go in and see what Nuttall stuff is still there. Also there was a box in the store...

Anyone know how the original poster got on with the old Nuttall lathe. Just to confirm what Pete says above, the conversion was just a change of leadscrew to 6mm from 1/4" lead. That made a...

Bob, what dividing head do you have? Do you have a rotary table? If so you could make a special 107 plate for your dividing head on the rotary table without the need for differential indexing. ...

Ready for more "metal cutting" John!! See you there.

What part would that be to save us from a guessing competition?!

When we see some setups the first thoughts are that it could be a bit dangerous. The method shown above is a recognised method of holding/driving a drill in a lathe and is still shown in most text...

Yep, true name is "extension socket" used to either adapt larger Morse tool to smaller Morse machine OR to extend the length of a Morse taper drill for better reach on some workpieces..... but we...

Looked like only two of the ring gears left on Friday last week. Doesn't look like they are a fast moving item by the surface rust but certainly a good fix. Price was $20 from memory.

Sad to see this. Joe was here with me 4 days before the accident and was positive about his future "playing in the shed". Joe was a work mate from early 1980s to 1991 but kept in regular contact...

Michael, this one on Gumtree could be ok. It's only about half hour from some of us here in the Richmond/Penrith area. Could have a look for you as it's in your budget.

As another poster has also said, camlock tailstocks have been around for many years. The Myford ML 7 being one old design which had them way back late 40s???? Haven't bothered looking up when they...

Not sure why you couldn't get clearance with the tailstock supporting the workpiece. With the compound slide set at 27 (1/2) degrees from the right angle to the axis there shouldn't be a problem. ...

Good to see it worked out ok. To prevent the problem you had with the job moving due to holding by the head only can be eliminated by supporting with a centre. Saves all that heartache and the...

Just a bit of a useless sideline project earlier on this year. This poor little Myford ML7 had literally "fallen off the back of a truck" when it wasn't tied down by the apprentice when moving...

:(( That old Super was a good one.

Meadowbank F & M was the same in recent years with just dumping good material due to the head teacher being A PLUMBER!! He had no sense of need for machines or...

Get into that bin!! That cast iron is great. That size dia. 80 x 80 was used for the gland assembly on a vane pump which belonged to the F & M 5210 course through the 80s. The large cast iron...

The rest of them must be locked in the shed and too busy to check in here John!

Will try and get there this month (finally!!!) John. Will call Steve to get details.
