      Hi all.

      Does anyone know how to stop the cross slide handle unscrewing when turning it anticlockwise on my Myford ML7

      Thanks Charles

          weld it on? (sorry couldn't resist )

          Don't know the real answer – I've got a South Bend.

            I usually remove the end die casting from the slide and hold the leadscrew in soft jaws in the vice, adjustment can then be carried out very accurately with virtually no end float in the bearing and beacause the leadscrew is held it can all be done up nice and tight.

            Hope this helps.

            I have never had a problem of it coming undone.

              This happened on my Super 7; the taper in the handle wouldn't pull up fully to lock against the taper on the end of the feedscrew. Fixed by filing a smidge off the back of the handle centre. Yes, chrome & all.

              Apologies if the ML7 is different.
