Anyone Ever Have Feet turned for a Victor 8-7?

Post by Skihawx »

I am looking to have four feet turned for my two 8-7's. I have half of one original foot. Not sure if a custom knife is needed or if it can be turned free hand. Just wondering if someone else has needed feet reproduced. Also will be offering one 8-7 for sale once I find a source for feet.

I have used these folks for reproduction Credenza feet and a job for our church. Excellent work!!! Reasonable, especially in quantity. I usually send them a dimensioned drawing, but I suppose you could send a sample for them to copy.

Do you remember what the Credenza feet cost?

$9.25 each for 48 pcs. That was in 2017. It was the tall style bun foot.

After keeping 2 or 3 sets for myself, I've sold several others. (Still have a few sets left if anyone has interest.) I'll admit, an 8-7 is a rare machine. There may not be much market to sell extras, but then I guess you may not have to buy 48 pcs. (That qty. was of my own choosing :roll: )

Do you have dimensions or a drawing of the foot?

What a great question! I never stopped to think what an 8-7 foot would look like. :?

I was actually asking Skihawx. We both live in New Hampshire and I have a good lathe and mill.

I have to ask, what does :? mean?

Here are a couple of pictures of what I have. It is 2-⅜" at it widest, 2-¼" at the top, and only 1-⅜" tall.

Yes, I know you were asking Skihawx, and not me. It's still a great question, is it not? In this case, :? was meant as if to say "duh", because I was lending advice without knowledge of the piece he needed. And yes, the "duh" was aimed at myself, in case you were wondering about that too.

Thank you for the clarification, Jerry. I’m not up on emojis, so I wasn’t sure if I had irritated you.
