... I know, and l'm using Tormek myself. I,m a wood turner. Ml8 is a wood turning lathe. A bit old though. I was hoping to find someone that still uses this machine, cos Myford doesn't know so much about it any longer. To watch someone in action it is almost always the best way to understand how something works.
I can't figure out if my tailstock clamp is worn or not. The alignment is very random, a problem when drilling holes whith high accurasy. And it needs lubrication (daily, depending on how much you use it). But mine hasn't been used for a while. And I've read something about soaking it with oil (32), letting it dripp out of the machine for a starter ... ? I'd like to watch how that is done!
Thanks very much for your answers!
