It's a travelling steady. Looks similar to the design for a lot of Harrison lathes, but then I've never seen a Myford travelling steady.

Got this peach the weekend from a good friend of mine who's father sadly passed away not too long ago and had some lovely machinery. I bought a Myford super 7 from the man himself years ago, and now I have his meddings drill to add to my workshop. A good clean and service and it will be like new

Not a Myford the Myford travelling steady attaches to the t slots on the cross slide a bit like the rear tool post.

ive a myford travelling steady and it doesnt look like this, the parts that steady the work are a different shape also, so perhaps something else.... looks something simlar though!

I don't know if it is genuine but it has the locating pin, some of the modern copies have the hole but no pin.

Today I acquired these
1/4" travel on the left hand one, it's a bit sticky but it'll clean nicely. 1/2" travel on the right hand one. Not bad for £14 the pair.
And this, actually bought about three months ago but just had the chance to collect from a friend who picked it up for me.
A very nice 12" Rabone. Original mahogany case, a slight crack in the sliding lid but easily repaired. £10

Don't think it is a genuine Dickson, looks to be one of the copies made in Australia

Was up in the early hours today and under cover of darkness went out raiding, a good haul. All EN24T, EN16 and EN8. My pal came by later with some precipitation hardening Stainless steel. It's why you need a van, with new springs!
Stock levels almost back to normal.

You might have to make a new tool post stud or spacers

mixed with other things today i found one of these and it must be the lightest hacksaw i have ever used...apparently they were made from surplus supplies of aircraft alloys from WW2...not mine but have grabbed a pic from inter web...I went to some weird sites 10 mins ago when i thought they were called "Big Dong"
