Hobbymat seized motor can they be un seized or are they easily replaceable. You'll get to know how hard to hit it after you have done it a few times. Just have a hand on the chuck when you hit the bar, so it doesn't drop on the lathe bed. > This should not damage the tail stock at all as the effort will all be on the tag end of the chuck.Īnd you don't have any bearings to crush! This should not damage the tail stock at all as the effort will all be on the tag end of the chuck. The Mark 1 and Mark 2 tail posts are non ejecting and have access from the handle end, so if you have the Mark 1 or Mark 2 tail posts then simply stick a 10mm diameter rod into the open end and drift the chuck out with a little force. Help How do I remove a stuck chuck in the tail post of an ML7 without damaging. I seem to be having a bit of a mid life crisis as I have also bought myself a myford lathe so at the moment im having a whale of a time working things out. Many thanks for all replies gents my next step will be to get the compound table to go with it as i only bought the milling head at the time for a bargain price. Steve is spot on with the FR1 description. The lathe spindle is bored to about 13mm. It is the lathe collet chuck that accepts ER25s. I have a Minilor TR1 which I am stripping down and rebuilding. I dont think i'd buy a set until i tried an ER25 collet to make sure it's ok so only buy 1 to start with. These can be bought from Arceurotrade and on Ebay. I you search the web there are various references to ESX25 being equivalent to ER25. Ok many thanks for reply ,I take it I can buy these on Ebay ok. For drilling a special ESX25 shaped collet was supplied which i think was bored MT1 to accept the drill chuck also used by the lathe tailstock. The FR1 milling attachment was bored to accept the same collets. The spindle was bored to accept a collet type ESX25. I used to have a Minilor TR1 lathe also known as Vario-lux 130. Hi I have recently bought the above but am no sure how the cutters fit or what i would need to fit as I only have the chuck.Or is this what I use for milling with ?.My apologies but I cannot find any info for the above.
