Gearbox and a complete set of change gears Eng/Metric for Myford Speed 10

[Andrew StarkParticipant @andrewstark92086]

Hi all.

I have a very nice Myford speed 10 longbed as a small second lathe. I was wondering if there was aa aftermarket gearbox made for it, or set of drawings for making one.

Alternatively a full set of change gears in English and/ or Metric.

I can use my Hardinge for all this but thought it would be useful to be able to cut threads on a small lathe for more delicate work.

Also can anyone advise where I can get Myford spares. The top slide and saddle feed screws are worn.

Thanks

Hemiingway Kits sell plans for a gearbox to suit the ML10. http://www.hemingwaykits.com/acatalog/_Archibald__Screwcutting_Gearbox___ML10.html
As for spares, well of course you can get some direst from Myford, though the range is pretty limited. Otherwise it’s probably a case of searching for s/h parts, eBay etc.

Good luck

Mike
