Update on progress of the Myford refubishment, 3D Cad progress, Seal Engine, boring bar and tool setting gauge.
Setting up the saddle of a Myford ML7 lathe at the completition of a comprehensive refurbishmant and rebuild. The shims were bought from Myford and whilst they were expensive they are quite a clever bit of kit. They are laminated and about 1.5 thou each layer. At first I thought that they were the wrong ones as they were solid looking. Only after a phone call to confirm they were correct, did I see that they were indeed laminated.
Saturday 21st February 2009 For the second day running I didn’t manage to stay out in the workshop for as long as I would have liked. However I did manage to pin the leadscrew and fit it permanently to the lathe so that was a positive. Even better was the smooth and free turning nature [...]

Not been to well this week, so the last couple of days have been sorting out some ‘odds and ends’ but surprisingly those odds and sods have seen quite a bit of the lathe come together and the long list of to do jobs, disappear. The only large scale job left is the leadscrew and [...]
On Tuesday the 3rd February I had something of a mixed morning in the workshop. The anticipation of work that could be finished was far in excess of what was finished! Not feeling my best, I thought I would test out how machine able the leadscrew was and what damage, if any the leadscrew would [...]
Today I only managed to complete the lever that releases tension on the countershaft/headstock belt. It is surprising to me still on how much I underestimate time required for each task.
