I'm in the UK, NW? London not far from a world famous football ground -? strangely quiet at these difficult time.? I got my SL from Buck & Ryan around 1970, and upgraded it in various ways. The most useful option that I took a very long time ago was to fit the watchmakers collet assembly (8mm) which includes a dedicated quill/bearing assembly. In this form it is now vertically mounted on my (fairly old) Myford Super Seven as lightweight mill/drill. To do this I reversed the motor so it is above the headstock. It is mounted behind the bed using the pre-tapped holes. With the very long cross-slide this is great and I can see what I'm doing. As before, any heavy milling is done horizontally on the S7 using the vertical slide. The main application is to my model railway hobby where I work in S scale (gauge), (fairly rare in the UK), the all imperial 1:64 (3/16ins) scale. The job done last week was to mill out a window recess in a signal cabin and I have attached a pic of that process. It was bolted directly onto the cross slide. The only thing that I am looking at doing soon is to fit a counterweight to take the weight of the headstock (no spring and even if I had it, it would probably not be strong enough now) as suggested to me on this group. The other option is a spring to the workshop ceiling - again a kind suggestion from this group. However, at the moment I'm in 'layout scenery mode' rather than mini-engineering. After that I will continue with the S scale Great Western Railway 'Flying Banana' which is radio controlled with sound etc etc.This is now painted & at detailing stage. I also have some 0 gauge (handmade clockwork and r/c) - this can be run from under the workbench onto the retaining walls in the garden so it blends in well. The theoretical objective is for the line to end up by the kitchen door so essential sustenance can be loaded by domestic authorities on to the train!? So everyone, stay safe &? make the most of the time if banned from going out and thank goodness for absorbing hobbies! Leslie
