Checking for wear on a Myford Lathe (ML7) + Essential Upgrades

In addition to the things mentioned in the video you may also want to consider: 1. Condition of the electrics 2. Condition of the motor (i.e. noise) 3. Backlash and condition of topslide/compound slide screws. My #Myford #ML7 #lathe condition was a complete unknown and I thought time to establish what wear and play there was. The Maid of Kent 5" #Steam #Loco build is still running, just waiting...

Hatred of a Deburring Tool, and how to hate it less...
zhlédnutí 524Před rokem
This is a cheap deburring tool from Chronos or RDG - the tips are excellent but the body of it is horrible cheap plastic and the method for 'locking' the double ended shank in place is with very thin plastic. Let's change that...

    I;ve gone for a Drummond lathe which Myford took over for war production around 1940 & called it the ML4 it is smaller & lighter than the ML7 which is a bonus as I can [with some parts removed] pick it up & move it on my own, it will do all I need of it & when I built a 5" simplex I made tools jigs as I went as special parts tooling were not available, I did have a Raglan Little John at first I never needed the larger capacity & it took 3 men [again parts removed ] to move it

    Hello William, I like your lathe, one can manufacture lots of parts on it, all the complaints you mentioned shouldn't have been raised, I own a Hercus 9-inch lathe with tapered roller bearings, I purchased it brand new in 1973 and I still have it as of august 2024. now a days one can buy third party accessories on eBay for hobby lathes at reasonable prices for example taper turning attachment that mounts in the tail stock, plus a ball turning attachment, there are many other attachments. As a note a good machinist never blames his tools.😃

    This is a very good introduction to the topic. Now, if you could see your way clear to making a video on how to make a Myford collet that would be doing humanity a service and would provide yourself with an additional collet - which I am sure you need.

    Great video. I really like the oilers. I have all the upgrades you mentioned except for the tool post. I've had my 1952 ML7 for 17 years and have used the original "boat type" and four-way tool post for many years. I fabricated a QCTP from scratch, about 3 years ago, using plans from the internet. I would never go back to the four-way post, but we all have our own opinions.

    • @williamsworkshopuk

      They absolutely do, but in my experience the best way is with PCB sleepers and rail rather than plastic or hybrid kits. Good luck! Check out RMweb’s 2mm sub forum

      yeah, tbh there's a lot of value in momentum - I have in mind to make a 2mm Inglenook on the opposite corner of a 120x20mm reclaimed baseboard to my existing N-gauge Inglenook. Just need eight wagons, a loco, and reliable couplings and points - but generally a low-stakes experimentation project!

    Seems like the arbour is turning the wrong direction so it’s undoing the nut. Maybe reverse it? But then you are climb cutting, so maybe come at the workpiece from the other direction?

    • @williamsworkshopuk
