Denfords have no spares for these machines

Looks like iI will have to try and make one

at least I have a lathe

Steve,

Sorry to hear about your broken shaft.
Have you found the detail drawing amongst those already scanned and posted on here?
If you can't find it, let me know and I'll have a look through the originals.

Hi Andy
I,ve got drawing ML 115/900/M Section E-E

If there is a more detailed one I'd love a copy

Thanks a lot
Steve

Steve,

Are you sure that is the number for the shaft?
ML 115/930 can be found in this pdf - https://www.denfordata.com/downloads/for ... 0scans.pdf - which shows a fixed dog & gear.

Can you post up the relevant part of the assembly drawing that you have?
Edit - just found the assembly drawing ML 115/900/M on a different thread, and I think the shaft number is ML 115/923.
I'll see if I have it - may take a couple of days.
Second edit - found the drawing - will try to get it scanned tomorrow.

Andy

Drawing ML115/923 has had 10 modifications over the years.
Attched are the mod notes as far back as still exist - I don't know what happened to them for pre-1967

Steve - you don't say what year your lathe is, so i hope these cover far enough back to match the design of your broken shaft.

And here is the drawing.

Thanks a lot Andy I'm sure they will be a great help

I will look through them later today

I'm not sure of the lathes age I will try to find the serial number when I've had a bit of sleep

cheers
Steve

Hi Andy

Now I've just got to get the confidence to start making it


Cheers
Steve
