I've not used a lathe since O level EWTP so bear with.. I picked this up at Patrick Edwards sale a couple of years ago quite cheaply (the sale is this weekend if you are after some rust..) I've had it working but not well. the cutter is inclined to ride under occasionally and the cut is rough. Due to a lack of fund/knowledge/patience it got pushed to one side.
I'm trying again now and I've spotted an issue. the top side is cracked (by the key in the pic) the crack goes through to the dovetail. Is this a straightforward find a new slide or can this be fixed? If it needs replacing I imagine a ML7 top slide would be easier to find, but would it fit? ta.
Yes, I know its filthy..
