I’ve a Myford super 7 with a powered long base cross slide with 5 t-slots in it.

Looking at buying a new cross slide screw and nut off myford.co.uk

I emailed them asking would it fit my machine and they say that the 5 t-slot slide was only made for the ml7.So their part ‘might’ not fit.Bear in mind that the part is specifically for the powered cross slide version.

My question is does anyone know if the powered cross slide on the super 7 has the 4 t-slot as standard or is the 5 t-slot an add on.?

The cross feed screw thread is 8″ long on mine.

The part no. In question is 30/141

Many thanks.

The ML7-R was non Power Cross feed, and fitted with a 4 T-Slot Cross Slide as standard (Together with the ML-7 style of compound/topslide), with a longer 5 Slot version available as an accessory.

The Super 7, both non and power cross feed, was fitted with a longer 5 slot cross slide as standard.

Also on the Myford Ltd website, the excerpts from the Super 7 Power Cross feed model manual, on the Carriage Assembly spares page, shows the 5 slot cross slide as standard, so sort of shooting themselves in both feet!

Yeah I saw the 5 slot in the parts catalogue and assumed it came from the factory that way. However the email from myford has raised doubts that it will fit.

I’m inclined to think that it will fit my lathe though.

Thanks for your reply.

But does the Ml7 screw have the extended end to accept the verier adjustable scale dial.

Just checked my Super 7B & yes 5 t slots.

My Super 7B, manufactured in late 1976, also has a 5 slot powered cross slide. Slide itself is 10 3/4″ long.
