My model A TH is a bit basic ( but for £50 I will not complain) so 2D is the best I can hope for.

This is my Myford S7B she is something of an old lady being two years older than myself.



As you can see she has had a hard life, for many years she was a jobbing lathe in a machine shop where some idiot managed to smash her primary casing with  a fork lift. She also had her saddle screw guide split. Myford told me this was a common problem (so why had they not fixed it?) But instead of fitting another part that was likley to break I made this replacement. The advantage being that other than strength I now have a flat surface to sit my tools on :)



The other gadget I have made for her is a George Thomas rear toolpost:



You may have noticed I also have fitted a dial gauge that presses against the rear of this post.
