Coming on well Cliff! I would have been tempted to drag itoutside and give it a thorough degrease and pressure wash! but the way you are doing it is going to make it a much nicer machine! KBO! Phil
Hello Cliff, that lead screw bracket crack is a common problem with the machines in this range. The Zamak alloy is not really strong enough to handle the thrust loads it gets. Some of the fellows in the Super 11 group have made replacement parts of steel. 👍
Cleaned up nicely Cliff. I think you will have to get the lug welded, they rely on the tension of the bolts to set the free play in the saddle. Mine is sensitive to bolt torque. Best wishes, Dean.
Still doing a good job on your Emco, can't wait to see it finished, Great video, and I'll look out for your mates video Toddy Tackles, thanks. Catch you soon take care
Surely there’s someone here that could repair that crack on the cross slide for Cliff. Nice long video Cliff. Thanks👍

Thanks for that, I can't wait til' it is finished, feels like a lifetime time ago I could "play" in the shed!!!!
Terrific job on the carriage and saddle Cliff 👍👍👍 It will be so pristine when you've finished you won't want to use it 🤣 Cheers, Alan.
Cheers Alan, not sure if I can remember how to use it! :-),
ATB,
Cliff

Very interesting Cliff, can you get a nut and washer on the otherside of that welded piece ?
Exactly what I was thinking, not checked to see if there's room? If there is I'll "jbweld" a nut or plate on there!
All the best,
Cliff.
Did your Myford survive the fire?
Yes! that's on the list for a refurb, somewhere in the future!!!!
@@CliffsShed you helped me with the wiring of the digital tachometer by explaining the terminals were opposite to the instructions once .thanks
