Saddle Chip Tray - Myford Lathes

How much fun is it to clean down your Myford after a cast iron "session"? Handfulls of gritty swarf sprayed along the bed, sneaking under the saddle felt and cascading down onto the feedscrew and rack....

Fear not HEMINGWAY HAVE WHAT YOU NEED!

If you have a post-war Myford (7's, 10's, 254's) then you can benefit from this beautifully designed Saddle Chip Tray. The single alloy casting fits to the saddle, ahead of the cross slide, using the existing travelling steady tapping. Fitted and removed in seconds (and without tooling) it will save you many hours each year on clean-ups and will protect your bed and saddle surfaces from abrasive debris. The Saddle Chip Tray will happily pass under a Ø5" chuck and takes up only a minimum amount of axial length. The kit includes material for the forward felt wiper, a captive screw and a cross drilled sump plug to drain away coolant. Additional locations are available on the casting for the attachment of a DTI column, coolant tower or extended vinyl covers for grinding.
