I was wondering if anyone has an idea what it would cost to have a little Myford ML7 bed and saddle reground? The head stock would need to be split so that can be ground with the bed to keep the centre height aligned. I don't know if turciting the saddle is an alternative to that.
Basically if I adjust the gibs so the lathe is nicely set at the headstock I can only move the saddle 5-6" down the bed before it binds. Or if I have it so I can run the full length of the bed it is sloppy as hell down near the head.
As always funds are tight so I'm trying to work out if I'm chasing my tail trying to get this old thing in a reasonably useable state or I should bin it and look for something else?
I guess Phil is probably the one who knows but I'm interested in others experience in this kind thing also. I think it will take more than a little bit of hand scraping to get it back to flat.
