Hi , I do have one of these ...but....I bought it because the original set up with the bronze bearing had worn out and I could not source another one whilst Myfords had stopped trading . ..So...I bought the rack and pinion one to still be able to use it . I think the bronze bush was a two or three start thread ?? Also what does "NON POWER" mean on this lathe???Willy
On my Super 7 I have a Cowells Capstan feed unit which is fitted to a spare ML7 tailstock. It is super quick just to swap the tailstock over as required.I use it mainly for thread cutting with a small Coventry die head.Phil
