I've got a Myford S7 and the Clochester Student MK1 is almost my dream lathe.. i say almost because my dream lathe is actually a Monarch 10EE but in my part of the world the chance finding a Monarch is next to zero so i think the Student round head is my next best choice and they come up for sale every now and then... i dont know why i felt like writing this but yeah its a cool lathe you have there.. thanks for the video

At 1:18 there is a pair of spring pins near the bottom of the pic that look like they're there to stop the power feed engagement lever dropping so far as it disengages. Mine hasn't got them and they don't appear on the apron drawing in the 1966 book :(

Looks like you are refering to the roll pins, do you have the holes there to fit a pair.

Ha, I wish your videos were around when I was doing mine! How hard do I hit it before I look for another way to get it off was what I was constantly asking myself. Probably the most satisfying thing I've ever done. Ours are made one year apart but I notice your motor is different. Maybe they changed suppliers around then.

I think like a lot of manufacturers they probably bought job lots of whatever three phase motors were cheapest at the time, have you checked the start handle switch contacts, this gave me the single most problems of any of the parts, trying to source some compatible contacts for these switches and will put a link up if I find one

Usually takes me a couple of weeks on ebay to find what I'm after. Only a couple of things left to complete the set of accessories.

Yes, and a lot of these parts still command good prices, was looking at a collet chuck the other day but decided it wouldn,t get much use.

These videos are priceless. I forgot how the plunger/shuttle assembly was on my worm box. Solved my question! I did notice the springs on your worm gear are a _considerably_ smaller wire diameter than the ones on my '68. I'm curious if they were changed by a previous owner that was fooling around, or if the design actually changed.

Very pleased to have been of help to you this was the idea of these videos as the only manual avaliable didn,t have any in depth maintenance instructions.

@@MrNigel1340 The power feed trip on mine feels like it's missing a spring. Adjusting the knob has no feel to it and 'loosening' it just lets it drop out at any time. I'm wondering if I can just completely unscrew the knob and fit a spring to it but I'm guessing it's been replaced by a solid rod which will have to come out. Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.
