- Myford ML? - Restoration Part 1 - In todays video I will walk you through the plans I have to restore my Myford ML? lathe. The series of videos on the restoration will be placed in a playlist.
Please NOTE: I talk in the video about it being a ML3 but now I think it maybe be either a ML2 or ML4...

What a cute little lathe! I don't think I could live with the casting parting lines either. No harm in making it look nice.
Hello Mark,
Thanks for dropping by... I will try and not go overboard with the casting marks - lol... fingers crossed the lathe should look and work a lot nicer once done...
Take care.
Paul,,
Very interesting project, Paul. Now you can put all those tools in your shop to good use. And you've gone to the right person for advice on scraping - Mat has an excellent series on scraping his Holbrook lathe!
Hi Dan,
I hope this project will allow me to use many of the tools in the workshop... For some reason scaping does attract me quite a lot and again this would be a good one to do it on once I've got some experience. Thanks for visiting.
Take care.
Paul,,
Very excited to see an early Myford Lathe in the process of restoration! My ML1 (17” bed) is in desperate need of the same attention and the detail you provide will both inspire and inform me the correct way to bring this lil piece of history back to life! Only bits broken are the top caps for the spindle… very old breaks, someone in the past has made and installed tin caps over the originals. Still spins beautifully! I’ll be right here waiting patiently (🤔) for your next instalment.
Cheers from Down Under 👍😎🇦🇺
Hi Grayse,
I hope I can live up to your expectations... also, I do flip around from project to project but will get them all done in the next six months now COIVD is a little calmer here and I have settled into the new workshop. Many thanks for watching.
Cheers.
Paul,,
Nice project. Looking forward to the scraping. Regards Kevin
Hi Kevin,
Thanks... the scraping should be fun and hopefully entertaining... Thanks for watching.
Take care.
Paul,,
Well seasoned castings. Nice one Paul.
Hi Mark,
I am in the area of polishing a turd with this one but hopefully it should make an entertaining video or two... Thanks for dropping by.
Paul,,
@@TheKnacklersWorkshop The Myford is a much better turd to polish than a chinese 7X mini lathe.
It is a quandary; rough, irregular castings on a machine that does precision work!
Hi Matt,
Cleaning up the casting won't make any real difference other than it may look a bit better... and strangely I quite like filing so won't be classed as work..
Thanks for watching.
Paul,,
Nice to see you have found another project, on a nice little lathe. I shall stay tuned to see the result.
Hi Laurie,
I am hoping that the lathe will turn out nice and it give me an opportunity to make or fix things for it, which will hopefully be interesting and slightly different content for the viewers. Thanks for watching and your support.
Take care.
Paul,,
Hi Paul, great to see you getting stuck into a big project. Let your Engineers OCD rule on the castings, if it looks like you are going to need to remove significant amounts of material anywhere, consider body filler on the low side as opposed to removing material from the high side (maintaining as much mass and strength as possible). Good luck with the scraping, braver man than me! Cheers, Jon
Hi Jon,
I would like a largish project (not sure this is the one) that will require me to use my various machine tools to complete... I procrastinated about an old lathe about a month ago... When I finally decided to get it, I found that it was sold... Anyways this will keep me busy until something really cool captures my imagination. Thanks for watching.
Cheers.
Paul,,
Great stuff Paul, looking forward to seeing this project progress
Hi Ralfy,
I think it will be quite nice to get it going... and it should keep me out of trouble...
Thanks for dropping by...
Paul,,
Very cool display of the myford ML Paul.
I thought this model was larger - it's so cute!
I'd love to see a rebuild video!
Hello Saar,
The ML1, 2, 3, & 4 which is is one (not sure which one) are smaller than the ML7's and my ML7 is the long bed version... I am hoping that once rebuilt is should be useful even though very old.
Take care.
Paul,,
@@TheKnacklersWorkshop Good one! I didn't realize they had different sizes. Very cool indeed. Oh... and Myfordboy channel makes parts using the ML lathe too. I think you two can collaborate in making really lovely projects.
Well this is going to be interesting. I look forward to how you get on. Scraping is an art I have not tried yet but want to in future.
All the best!
Eddie
Hi Eddie,
I agree about scaping being an art... not sure I am an artist, so will be practicing first on something else to ensure I don't mess up the lathe...
Take care.
Paul,,
It will be a nice little lathe when done. I often wonder on the little things a surface grinder might leave a nice job instead of scraping. Probably not something sensible to do.
Hi Lance,
Funny you should say that about surface grinding... I was searching for local machine shops last night... I'll make my mind up what to do soon... Thanks for watching.
Take care.
Paul,,
I'll be looking forward to the next video, I've a small flexispeed lathe and want to scrape the ways, purely for aesthetic purposes, I'll see how you get on first, 😀
Hello David,
Thanks for visiting... The Flexispeed and nice little lathes... it would look nice with scraped ways... When you get it done I would not mind seeing some photos of it...
Take care.
Paul,,
Looking forward to seeing this project unfold. I have done a bit of scraping (see the channel!) and scraping enough off to get to the bottom of a ding is a hard task. 0.01” is a lot inhand scraping terms. I would consider any dings as character and oil storage!
Hello,
Many thanks for dropping by... I will checkout your scraping videos... I think it should be an interesting project and hopefully produce a nice lathe.
Take care.
Paul,,
hi Paul.
Nice to see the workshop now officially christened with a major project, If getting all the irritating casting alignment marks out pleases you then i say do it, i would. As for the lathe bed for the age of it it doesn't look bad to me looking through a lens at it, scraping is not my favourite pass time in fact i would put it at the bottom of my list of to do's, but that's just me,
but if you want to have a go then do it i say, why don't you practice on the compound slide first to see how you get on with it.
Anyway i don't think your going to get bored with the Myford, Unimat and shaper etc projects and all those machines to play with.
Take care
mr f
Hello Mr. F,
As I disassembled the lathe I was quite surprised of the condition of most of the component parts... out of everything the ways are the worst but having said that they are actually not to bad. I will for sure do some practicing on my scraping technique before I let myself loose on the ways.
There is plenty to do now and a nice environment to do it in... I am having fun up there which is good.
Cheers.
Paul,,
Like a few other comments. The thought of scraping scares me, I have watched a lot of Jan severre haugjord scraping Myford vids trouble is he makes it look easy
Hello Ian,
Jan Severre Haugjord is very good... we have exchanged a few emails on the subject of scraping... I will be practicing on something before I tackle the lathe... Thanks for visiting.
Cheers.
Paul,,
G’day Paul. Well I must say that you’re not afraid of getting your hands dirty are you. I have never done any scraping before and so you’re way braver than me. You were probably taught during your apprenticeship? Unfortunately I was not. Cheers 🍻. Aaron
Hi Aaron,
These old Myford lathes are quite basic and have lots of flat surfaces so a little easier to scrape... Yes I did do some in my apprenticeship but very little and sadly such a long time ago, so really I am on page one, chapter one. I will experiment on something else first. Thanks for dropping by.
Paul,,
This is interesting and it will be good to see how you get on with the bed. I think we have a Myford tailstock somewhere, not sure what model it came from
Hello Joseph,
Thanks for dropping by... another small lathe with no real value so fine for me to experiment with... I hope you are well and enjoying your summer break...
Take care.
Paul,,
... well, just cuz it pleases me. Enough said!
Hi Jean-Paul,
Agreed it is a good reason... thanks for watching...
Paul,,
Now you have me looking for a Myford which doesn't exist here...
Hello,
One would be small enough for your workshop and be a nice project for you. A saved search on eBay and one will appear eventually. Thanks for dropping by.
Take care.
Paul,,
If a job’s worth doing mate! 🙂
Hello John,
I totally agree, I am not sure if it is an old man thing (which I am) but we seem to live in a world where near enough is good enough... My intent is to do a good job, time will tell about my skill level. Many thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
Take care.
Paul,,
Is all a question of pride. Nowt wrong with that. Too many say that’ll do. Keep on doing what you do.🙂
I have an ML4 that's had a bit of a rough time and I'm a novice, so this video was some help. It would be great if you've pregressed with this project. I'm looking for hints around setting up the headstock bearings, clearances etc
Hello,
I am pleased to hear that the video was of some help... I must admit I don't have moving forward with this project on the radar for quite some time, when I am in the workshop today I will see how feasible it is to do a short video on the headstock. You could make a video asking what you need to know and maybe some helpful advice will appear in the comments. Thanks for watching.
Take care.
Paul,,
@@TheKnacklersWorkshop my latest video does go some way in explaining what needs doing.
Thanks for your reply
@@750triton Hello, I have just watched your video, I would suggest you change the video setting to say "No, it's not made for kids" that way viewers can comment. I have just watched this video (ruclips.net/video/jyFAZC78Jf4/видео.html), which may be of help. Obviously you would need to weld up the bearing cap before shimming. The wobble on your cross-slide is most likely gibs.
Cheers
Paul,,
Hello great video. I have just bought a mk1. Any advice on where I can get parts. Thanks
Hello Gavin,
Many thanks for dropping by... I need a couple of bit for this Myford and been having real trouble finding them. The ML7's and Super 7''s there are lots of parts but these older one's are quite difficult to find bits. I have saved searches on eBay and some times the old bit may turn up. Sorry I could not be of more help and good luck with your new lathe.
Take care.
Paul,,
Could this work for the mk1.
You have quite a bit more experience than I, I wonder if you know the answer to a question I have had for many years now. Has there ever been a lathe that was made for left-handed people? I'm a lefty, and I have developed tricks to make it work, but every lathe I see, I mentally take it apart and try to figure out how it could be rebuilt for a lefty. Have you ever heard of this? Or perhaps a lathe that allowed ambidextrous operations? I can't be the first frustrated left-handed machinist in the world.
Hello Jean-Paul,
Last week I was sitting in the workshop drinking a coffee and noticed that all my machine tools were right handed, I must admit I have not thought of it before. I am not aware of any left handed machines. It would be interesting if any other viewers of this comment know of one could tell us about it.
Take care.
Paul,,
I guess you could probably think of most precision bench/watchmaker lathes, like my P&W 3C 7x16, as an ambidextrous lathe (same for Schaublin, Ames, Stark, etc.) But you have to be willing to put up with no back gear and wonky or non-existent screwcutting ability. Only the headstock and tailstock clamps are made for righties, but the compound/cross slide is interchangeable.
@@danielabbey7726 like I said, I always mentally disassemble lathes to see if it could be done. You're absolutely right that the smaller models would work, it seems like you work over the lathe more than in front of it. One day if I win the lottery I will have one commissioned. I appreciate knowing about the models of you named, but I have a condition similar to Parkinson's which kind of rules out tiny work for me. It was never an issue for me until recent declines. I'm just starting to feel a little unsafe at the lathe, so I've been looking around for a slightly safer hobby. That aside, when I was working full-time, it's just something I found myself always wondering about. I worked in a 5-man shop where three of us were lefties. The setup looked a little funny to other machinists.
@@TheKnacklersWorkshop thank you for highlighting this! I've gotten one suggestion that's very helpful. It has always seemed strange there we're not ambidextrous machines but then again I have read that lefties had it beaten out of them up until the '40s. Something about it being considered Satan's side
Hi There, very interested in your myford 3, have you done any further work to it? I've just purchased one of my own and interested in the maintenance and capability of the machine. I'm a lathe beginner so I'll be looking forward to future video's
Hello Todd,
Many thanks for watching my video and taking the time to comment... My old Myford is safely tucked away in the workshop, sadly I have not made any further progress as 2023 was somewhat challenging for me. Hopefully sometime in 2024 I will make a little progress with the restoration. It is good to hear you have a Myford as well and I would recommend "Jons Workshop", "Mr. Factotum", & "Max Grant" channels as they show really good skills for a beginner.
Take care.
Paul,,
@@TheKnacklersWorkshop Thanks for the recommendations. The Myford 3 I've just purchased has been well looked after and is in great condition for its age. Is it correct to think that this particular model was made in the 40's?
@@TheKnacklersWorkshop Would you have any advise on adjusting the backlash on the crossfeed for one of these old myfords?
Other than make a new nut that goes under the cross slide you just have to ensure you always back off and then advance the crossslide to manage the backlash. @@toddwilliams7534
Can you point me in the direction of any manual for this lathe or any literature thanks.
Hello Gavin,
I have just looked on lathes.co.uk and they have some documentation on Myford 1,2,3,4. It might be worth phoning Tony (the owner) to check it has what you are looking for as the are not super cheap. Good luck.
Take care
Paul,,
@@TheKnacklersWorkshop i have sent a email to them waiting on a reply. Any update on yours. Thanks
