I AM that "One other person"! I have owned a Rodney for about twenty years. Rodney and his mate Myford Super Seven have been in storage for twelve years, sadly the storage was not exactly waterproof. The Myford did not fare too badly; the compound slide and quick-change toolpost were off the lathe, and are a bit of a mess, although fixable. Rodney did not come out as well, and will be a daunting task... Still, I know where to come for reference. :o) Many thanks for another enjoyable (and, for me, inspirational) video. P.S. Sorry, no literature. :o(

Two years later I stumbled across this nicely edited and humorous video. What a wonderfull attachment. I have a friend who has a giant Orlikon Lathe with a milling head mounted to the carriage for the work he does, but it's a bit unwieldy for the home shop. However...the Rodney looks to be the perfect answer for the model engineer who has limited workshop space. And finally...great work, the decal painting alone was worth the the time spent watching. Cheers from New Hamshire USA

Another welding technique which requires less weld metal (and associated heat and spatter) is to tack an offcut of flat bar or a parted off disk, washer or similar to bridge across the raceway, (use small electrodes if stick welding) and use that bridge to press the raceway out.

Great video, nice restoration. I've had a Myford ML7 for about 20 years, I was aware of Rodney's existence but never actually seen him in action. Seems to work quite well. I think if I had a mill attachment on a lathe, one thing I would want to do is be able to mill/drill a piece that was still in the lathe chuck, or between centres. Rodney clearly can't do that because his big arse is right in the way.

Just find yourself a Clausing 8520 milling machine and you will have a machine that is capable of taking heavy cuts and doing real work without taking up much space in your shop. Ive owned full size milling machines that i used very little of its capability, the Clausing 8520-8530 is perfect for the home shop.

Geoffery, I encountered a bearing race in the axle housing of a Jeep that I could struggled to get out. I tried everything I could think of except heat which was not possible without damaging other components. I decided to take a break at the computer when I looked up on the shelf and spied a can of compressed air for dusting the keyboard and PC internals. I remembered that when you turn the can upside down, you can freeze things. I got two cans and went to the Jeep, turned the cans upside down and sprayed the race until it was frozen, almost 1 1/2 cans, then the race came out by hand. With gloves on, of course!
