Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted June 12, 2010 Author Posted June 12, 2010 think I spotted this some time ago http://www.718-rsk.co.uk/ I assume if the website is up and running they are still in business - I wonder if there is an opportunity for someone like Westfield to buy Oh and have purchased a Myford ML7 today of ebay - hope it's a good one as I have not seen it Quote
Westy1700 Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Good choice on the myford....if you need any help or bits i've known the Family that owns them all my life...they have many of the spares still available to keep them going... Quote
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted June 12, 2010 Author Posted June 12, 2010 thanks for that - let's hope I dont need anything Quote
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted June 13, 2010 Author Posted June 13, 2010 went to pick up the myford tonight with Dave (LocoR1) thanks for the help m8 and the company pleased to say the lathe is in better condition than I dare thought it might be - very happy bunny off to bed to dream about turning things on lathes Quote

Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted June 15, 2010 Author Posted June 15, 2010 messed about with the new toy today - the guys I got the machine off kindly chucked in some bits of various metal and nylon to practice on so I thought I would start on a new gear nob managed to find a bit of round bar that was an interference fit in the new nob so that saved tapping it out I have put a recess in the top because I intend to find a nice Porsche badge to sink in to it - failing that an of the era German coin maybe? took about a couple of hours but that was more down to me learning on the job Quote
bhouse Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 That looks very good - and I like the idea of a suitable coin rather than a badge! I'm a bit worried about the condition of your face flannel though. What are all those brown marks? Quote
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted June 15, 2010 Author Posted June 15, 2010 it's ok they are only skid marks Quote
