I have a Myford super 7 with no SK69754 which has a bed in need of grinding as it is quite badly worn after about 50 odd years of use.

I have a chance of getting a bed no K6642.Is it possible to replace my own with this one.

Cheers, Kai

You should be OK but……………..

K6642 would be a very early ML7 bed no later than 1953-4 which, if you cannot inspect it, may well be worse than your existing setup. The S7 shared the same bed as the ML7 from its introduction, but there were variations later on. Why not play safe and get a bed regrind of your existing machine and hence know that you have a machine you can trust?

Would you like to put us more in the picture? Can you inspect the other bed or are you buying blind? Is your present bed truly defunct as in bent or badly bashed about? What is the state of the rest of the machine?

Thanks for reply Dennis. I have opted for a purchase as it is impossible to find anyone here that will grind my old bed. The last lathe manufacturer here in Norway where I live, died more than 40 years ago and there is noonethat will take upon them the task of grinding a Myford bed. So, yeas , I found one on Ebay for £185.- that includes shipping to Norway and I did not think that was to bad consider I was quoted a freight charge of £200.- just to send my old one to England. I have been guaranteed by the seller that it is in very good nic and I have no reason not to beleive him. So I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Cheers, Kai
