A while ago I got one of these in excellent condition for a bargain price on flea bay. However there was one small problem. I have a Myford lathe & this one was either for a Boxford or Southbend. Not that I was bothered about this as the mounting foot could be machined to fit between the ways of the Myford. So into store it went until I had some time to do the job.

Now that time has come. The mounting foot (cast iron) has a slot machined in it with a clamp screw to hold the column. Screw removed & foot won`t come off.

There is no other obvious reason that I can see why it won`t come off. So before I apply “persuasion” I thought I`d ask our esteemed forum for their opinion. Anyone else had this problem ?

Did you sort this Alan? Trick is to insert the clamp bolt from the “wrong” side against a thin plate in the slot. Tightening the bolt gently forces the slot to open and the foot slides off.
