WOW!!! Just wow. I don't typically read all of the Mark VII threads here. IF it wasn't for this forum, I wouldn't even know what one was since I started my journey on the Mark V. That machine looks incredible restored all by itself, but I have to say that it really pops when viewed in front of the Gladiator cabinets. Phenomenal job. Kudos.

Thank you for the kind compliments. It’s not close to a MickyD but it’s something I can use and enjoy.
I can’t emphasize enough that I would not have started or finished this project without the knowledgeable and experienced individuals on this forum. Thank you all!

Re: Mark VII a start and a long ways to go..
Had 1st issues with the wheel setup. The Tinnerman clips gave way holding one of the casters to the shoe. I pushed it hard thinking I was stuck in a rut and the wheel mount bent as it was folding over. Anyway just posting to say this machine is so easy to work on bottom half. The ability to tilt each way allowed me to put one and at a time on a saw horse and slip it out to work on it. Brilliantly designed. Ended up taking Tinnermans out and using SS screams washers and nuts.

Wasn’t screaming to loud so used SS “screws”, washers and nuts

Re: Mark VII a start and a long ways to go..
Interesting. I just replaced the tinnermans on my Mark VII headstock as some were missing. I Helicoiled the holes in the casting and installed 10-24 bolts. I did the three on the speed control at the same time. My casters just needed cleaning and lubricating so I don’t remember but there likely isn’t enough thickness to helicoil there.
Anyway if you need tinnermans, they can be robbed from the cast headstock.

Threaded pop rivets may be a tinnerman nut replacement.

Re: Mark VII a start and a long ways to go..
