I once watched a video where a guy was building a lathe, and he only got the lathe functional enough to turn something, so he could turn parts for the lathe to finish it.

That Myford is a peach! Geoffrey Croker did a multiple part series on the complete restoration of his Myford lathe. By the time he was done, I was convinced that the Myford is an exceedingly well designed and built turning machine. If you ever have questions about that machine, use his series as a reference... very thorough disassembly and assembly material. Have fun and thanks for another great video!

Geoffrey Croker's series is a "must watch" if Myford's are of interest to you. It has been a go-to reference for my throughout the spruce up I have been doing recently, even though mine is a different model.

Yeah, a coat of paint and some decals will make all the worn out parts good as new! These old Myfords were intended to be used in high school metal work classes - they have all the feature and can do all the machining operations that teachers want to teach. That's about all they are good for.

1:21 much (most?) of that backlash seems to down to poor adjustment of the thrust collar, not wear in the leadscrew - you can clearly see the lost motion before the slide starts to move. No harm having changed the leadscrew, which we could see later was clearly worn but adjusting that correctly would have been a good first step. Looks like a half decent machine!

So now you have a Myford, good for you. I see you loosen or tighten the chuck by jamming the low ratio gears together. Please don't do that - someone did that with my Myford and the gears stripped and I had to have new ones made. A much better method is to put a piece of flat bar on edge under the cap screw that locks the spindle gear to the shaft. It's right behind the chuck spindle bearing under the belt cover. That way there's no danger of damaging the gears. There are several KZfaq clips showing the method.

It sounds like a bucket of bolts when he's running it. By the time he has bought all the parts to make it good, he will have spent enough money on this old junk that he could have bought a brand new Chinese lathe that would have:- # A better width to turning diameter ratio thus giving much better rigidity, and finish on jobs; # Proper V-ways eliminating slop and vibration; # A proper means of mounting the check instead that dangerous spindle screw thread, making reverse turning and a chuck brake impossible; # Safety interlocks that prevent common accidents.
