A well used Myford Super 7B Lathe with for sale, with Norton gearbox and power cross feed. (SK141097). Imperial.
It is actually a late grey machine with the top mounted tailstock barrel clamp.
This lathe does need a good clean.
The gearbox selections all work, as does the power cross feed.
There is also a rusty faceplate, catchplate and motor pulley included.
A couple of points to note:
- The red tufnol gears need replacing, (not a big deal)
- The motor runs forward and reverse, but missing it's end air fin cover and the wires to the switch don't look that safe. As a result, when you have seen it running I will disconnect the motor to ensure you replace the connections etc. You might decide to replace the motor but that will be your choice.
- The backgear is ok, but the backgear lever needs replacing, quite a cheap part to buy on ebay, etc. range from £15 to £30.
- You will need to get a chuck key. I don't know the condition of the chuck but it's a burnerd Griptrue, a high spec chuck. I have not checked the jaws. I have not removed the chuck as it seems to be on tight. I will leave this for the new owner to remove.
- The bed does have ware as you might expect.
Please note: I don't normally put lathes with issues on my website but becuase it has a gearbox and power cross feed I thought someone would appreciate a high spec lathe allbeit a project. Be aware that I might have missed the odd detail as I have not investigated every part of the lathe, just the bits that I have spotted or parts tend to give issues. The gearbox is the later version with the hardened gears.
Price: £ 1,695 (no additional VAT to add)
