not sure from video but is it wobbling on the shaft ? as opposed to just having a bit of back lash?

[michele brescianiParticipant @michelebresciani76304]

I think there’s a clearance between the rack and pinion..is it possible to fix it? Maybe with a new pinion

Hi Michele, Welcome to the forum.

As an ML7 owner myself, I'm sure Graham has identified your problem. Are you into model making?

Hi Michele,

I had a problem with worn ML7 apron bushes and bought a replacement set from here.

Thank you so much guys, i’ve just bought a replacement set of apron bushes..hope it works..Grizzly, no i’m not really in model making, i’m into pipemaking

[Grizzly bearParticipant @grizzlybear]

Pipes, would they be Pan Pipes or Smoking Pipes? Bears can be a bit nosey.

Uilleann pipes, the irish bagpipes. Have you ever seen them?

Regards
Michele

Irish pipes ~?

Are they similar to Guiness bottles that have open other end on the base but in this case it's blow from tother end ?

[Grizzly bearParticipant @grizzlybear]

Uilleann pipes, Interesting. Had a look on Youtube. This bear is not musical.

What will the main material be, just wondering if a wood turning lathe would have been a better option.

Regards Bear..

[michele brescianiParticipant @michelebresciani76304]

The main material will be ebony. i bought a metal lathe so i can turn out reamers an the whole metal parts
