Myford S7 Long bed lathe

[Peter Simpson 3Participant @petersimpson3]

Does anybody know if a Myford S7 long bed lathe has the same fixing dimensions as the standard S7 I cannot find the bolting down dimensions for a long bed lathe ?

If you poke around the Myford site there are photos of both and it looks like the mounting feet on the LB must be further apart.

The main difference was the bed, the lead screw and the cabinet were all longer on the LONG BED. Also check the gap between the ways ?  Noel.

Bill’s depiction of the Myford’s dimensions drawing tells it all really, the only difference is the length, except that the bed is deeper in section to stiffen the longer casting. The ways are the same in both versions.
