Beeston Myford Rear Tool-Post (Dickson QCTP Style) Model 30/145.

(1/2) > >>

Pete W.:
Hi there, all,

Please has anyone got one of these?

 

The version I'm interested in is the 30/145 for the ML7 & S7, not to be confused with the one for the ML10 (30/148), the 254+ (30/149) or for the 254S/R (30/151).

If you do have one, please could you measure the distance from the upper surface of the cross-slide to the underside of the Dickson mounting block? 

(And post it in your reply!!)   :doh:

Sorry about the poor picture quality - scanned from the fifth generation photocopy of the sixth carbon!!

Thanks.

Stuart,

Thank you - you're a star!!    :nrocks:   :nrocks:   :nrocks:   :nrocks:

I took my pix from a Beeston Myford leaflet that says there were several options for tool-holder - which do you have and do you find the tool-post a useful asset?

I made an impulse buy, a model 30/149 for the 254+ and I want to make an additional base for it to make it compatible with my ML7.

Thanks again.   :D   :D   :D   :D   :D   :D   :D
