I have made sets of threading taps for both thread sizes used on the Viceroy spindle. It's a great lathe. Much sturdier than my Record Nova which I now rarely use
If this is of interest on this thread.... I have made a tap set, to make chuck inserts for this lathe. That is 1 1/2 8 tpi to any more common chuck threads
I am also making an 1 1/4 9 tpi left hand tap set for the other end of the head
If anyone needs threads cutting in chuck adapters or...
I'm changing the drive belts on this machine to Powertwist V belts which run a lot quieter than the ones with metal rivet fasteners. I need to know if there is a way of tensioning the top belt. Is there any adjustment on the lay shaft.
Thanks in anticipation
Hi. I've been fixing up my Myford ML8. The spindle has some lateral play in the headstock. I'm assuming new bearing are needed.
Can you please describe the tool I need to make up to extract the old ones
Thanks
