This article gives details of a purpose-made, narrow, long-travel vertical slide and plain-bearing MT2 milling spindle for an ML7 lathe. This is normally bolted at the rear of a long cross slide to provide a convenient and relatively robust milling spindle with minimum overhang and requires minimum overhang of slender work pieces held in the headstock chuck. This rear-mounted milling spindle does not need to be removed for normal turning and parting off operations or when work pieces are mounted on a standard Myford vertical slide at the front of the cross slide.
