Geoffrey - another kiwi ML7 owner here. I just followed your jaw grinding process on my very old Burnerd 3 jaw. Mine was quite a bit worse than yours, so I had to take a fair amount off, but now runout is down to virtually nothing. I used a Dremel with a toolpost holder attachment which allowed me to use accuracy of the lathe during the whole process. Thanks very much for the videos. Love the humour.

I’m re watching this years later and still hits the same.

I love how your using the lath your fixing to fix it

At this rate I'll be over all your videos by tonight. Please upload 10 more videos by tomorrow. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the trick, Geoffrey. I applied the same process today with success on my both Pratt Burnerd chucks.

Thanks for appealing to smaller lathe owners I’m looking into getting a myford and this will help restore it great video and thanks for explaining things god bless

Nice one Geoff, I do so love to see a restoration project when done properly, I cannot wait for the next video, great quality too.....10/10.

Aha! The transition from "silent protagonist" begins 😉

Your a clever bugger Geoff..love your videos

What an excellent and helpful series of videos! Thanks

Thanks! Really like the discussion as to what you are doing and why. It really helps a newbie! Cheers!

This is beyond awesome! Just starting a career in micromechanics and watchmaking. I'm looking at Schaublin lathes for the future. Maby do a 102 next? Cheers!

Very neat chuck refurbish, nice touch with the label.😃

Nice work, yet again. Thanks.

Cracking job!

Citric acid only works properly when it's warm. It still works at room temp, but try warm, you'll see the difference in how well it could work.

Very nice. I'd like to give my little chuck a once over at some point.

Nice one.. I'm a bit late to the party having just bought an old MK7 in need of a restore. Looking forward to watch the rest of your videos. Will reach out if I need of advice if you don't mind, especially where you had your bed skimmed in New Zealand.

Good idea gluing the chuck jaws.

Just a bit of advice for next time, when trying to grind the jaws down the best method (in my opinion) is to get yourself a ring that you know is circle, something as circular as you can find. Then use the inner diameter jaws or the outer steps in other words to clamp it as tightly as you can. That way you can be certain that there is no backlash when grinding at the jaws, it'll also help to keep them stable and stop them from flexing, giving you a better finish and hopefully more accurate surfaces on the jaws to clamp items with. Just something my machining teacher showed me, I'm sure there are a million other ways to do this of course. Nice work though!

Nice attention to detail!

Finished a 1950"s ML7 rebuild here a few months ago. Only need to add the Myford Headstock guard label. Have a copy off Google (of sorts) but just wondered what was the program you used for your label?

Good idea glueing the jaws will be a great lathe when it's finishedy !

Wow, that was amazing and quite scary to watch. Yikes!

Geoff, at 7:56 in the video, you are working on graphics. Did you draw over the logo in a vector program, or is that something that scans it? What drawing program are you using? Thanks, and love your videos.

Would question who told you to measure things while " on the move " -- can cause wear/damage to the measuring gear jaws Ect.

Un trabajo espectacular!!!!

Hello Geoffrey, did I see you use a Loctite product to keep some tension on those three jaws, prior to grinding. Bob

Hey Geoffrey, out of curiosity, if you don't mind me asking, what is your background? You have good skills in machining, mechanical drawing, design and automotive.

My english is bad. Which program used at 7:57 ?

Looks to me (FWIW) that the jaws are worn,, but the chuck itself is fine. Any replacement jaws available in NZ?

What sort of buffing wheel was that? Didn't look like a polisher....

What kind of degreaser do you have in that sprayer of yours?

hey Geoffrey, where did you get the citric acid from? cheers from Hamilton

What side thread is the chuck

Fantastic job! One question: what software do you use to edit the photos of the stickers? How did you pull what would become the sticker off the original image? Many thanks!! Love these videos!

Always be knowling

Very nice Geoffrey, with what software did you reproduced the sticker?

megusta y ustede benden platos de 4 pulgadas y cuanto es el precio me gustaria con prar uno si es pocible gracias

Can you tell me why the jaws on my Burnerd model 30 chuck won’t reverse?

SHINY HAMMER!

updates for a part 5?

Hi Geoffrey I had just listened to the fools with tools post cast and Hand Tool Rescue gave you a shout out. I to have a ML7 that needs work and your video's will be a great help. Are you on Instagram I am as @homegrownnzlife us kiwi makers have to make the community bigger here in New Zealand
