Can anyone give me any information on what lathe this is please. I know it is a myford but does anyone know what model.

I have managed to pick up a City 20mm bore spindle , 32mm x 78mm . What i need is a top hat washer to convert the 15mm shaft to 20mm . If anyone has one or can make me one i will obviously pay for materials and labour.

Thanks for looking , but too big to use on the 15mm shaft.

Hi, My CL3 lathe has trouble starting in the highest speed. The motor runs very slow when cold and under pressure. When i drop down one speed the motor runs fine and after 5 minutes , i can change the belt to top speed and it works. It still is reluctant to start under any pressure even when it...

I will be there, hope the weather is better than last year, however it is all under cover in the giant glasshouse or theatre. Good day out.

They look great and easy to use . Just ordered two for my AWFS18. Much cheaper than the Hegner parts. Thanks John
