Regarding gearing, the ML4 has a leadscrew which is compatible with the later 7 series. You buy 20DP gears and get on with it! If you want a manual, the stock answer is- you ain't going to get one. If you want spares and accessories, tough! You are going to have to make them yourself. If you want designs etc, then you might have to wait. One of the Forums is trying to get Martin Cleeve stuff on the net. If you are impatient, you are welcome to plough your way through endless Model Engineers dating back to 1955- or volunteer to assist to put this still valuable information onto the net. This is not intended to be churlish. I am scanning articles from here in England out to Australia and comments are coming in from California. It is as complicated as that. With luck, the other articles on restoring a ML4 will have to be unearthed and so on.

Currently, I have most of Engineering in Miniature articles belonging to the late Kenneth C Hart( aka Martin Cleeve) scanned and I believe are on or ready to go. Therefore, I would be pleased to pass it on- and thank you for your fine gesture.

It's tatty, but I'm hoping to make it a restoration project. So far I have stripped it and am thinking of getting the cast parts shot blasted before re-painting - are there any reasons for not doing this? Also, upsilon said they had a pdf of the manual - I'd really appreciate a copy if that's possible. Look forward to learning from the members here.

The manual on the ML4 disappeared with the demise of a Myford forum. The 'Cleeve' stuff which went onto the net was removed because of copyright problems and a vicious threat of litigation by Model Engineer. Fairly recently I sent quite a bit of other ML4 stuff to readers in Model Engineering Clearing House about feed screw replacement. Ah well, that's show biz Norman >The manual on the ML4 disappeared with the demise of a Myford forum. The ML4 material re-appeared in the files section of the new Myford forum: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/myfordlathes Regards, Tony >>The manual on the ML4 disappeared with the demise of a Myford forum. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >Regards, >Tony Given what's just happened to Yahoo groups I'm doubtful if it will be much seen.

If you subscribe to Yahoo groups ensure your security settings are set to 'Hide Everything' as the default for the new presentation is to 'Show Everything' including your name, email address etc. until or unless you go and change it.
