Re: Mark VII “Project Machine”
I stand corrected. It is in fact a wavy spring washer, albeit a pretty flat one. The greenie on the other hand has a very interesting one.
….on the left.

Re: Mark VII “Project Machine”
Haven’t had that one apart yet but this looks like the cup washer we were talking about inside, right?
I wonder how many different people have had that headstock apart since 1957.![😂](//twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/svg/1f602.svg)

Re: Mark VII “Project Machine”
Maybe I’ll find the wave washer inside where the cup washer should be.![🤣](//twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/svg/1f923.svg)

Maybe in the bottom of the motor pan.

Re: Mark VII “Project Machine”
I wouldn’t rule that out JPG.
Today while waiting for the “new” sheaves to arrive I went back to the cosmetic refresh. This is not a show machine, just a user but it still deserves a cleanup. The bare aluminium parts are just cleaned up with a wire wheel and the rest painted. I’m using black Rustoleum hammered finish as an accent colour to break up all that grey.
I added one pic to show the before condition of basically everything.

Re: Mark VII “Project Machine”
Adjusting the rip fence clamp can be a bit tricky. It needs to be just tight enough. Too tight and it is hard to clamp and put on/off the table as well as increase wear on the handle cam.
All looking good by the way!
P.S. DO back out those off set set screws.

Re: Mark VII “Project Machine”
Thanks!
The tension was no problem. I haven’t tuned it up for square yet but yes, I know about the intensional offset screws. It will be a bit before it gets full speed because eBay orders from USA to Canada take for ever.
The bearing will be here tomorrow. I got 5 of them so I’ll do all three machines. Do you know if that bearing will fit the #2 bearing spot in the two bearing quill? SS gives a different part number but that doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t work.

Re: Mark VII “Project Machine”
I do not know! I am curious why you ask. Are you considering upgrading the MVII to a two bearing quill???
