See this excellent friction fire pump drill that I make on the Myford ML7. This fire pump drill is balanced and weighted by using full sized snooker balls, making it run really smooth. My Son Christopher Jordan designed and made the final assembly, I just machined the parts on the lathe. Also see the full demonstration of the fire pump drill in action, working at the end of the video.
