You'll have fun with that 😃
Always good to get a new toy
I finally got my mill and lathe into place in the garage last weekend but will be a while before they are set up and working so I'm jealous

Nice addition to the shop yogi boy.
That’s the custom spacers all sorted now. Maybe a few scrap ones on the way too. 😉
Looking forward to seeing your skills evolve as you go. 😎

You can get the year of manufacture from the serial number on it, off the Myford site, sorry if you already knew that. Steven. www.lathes.co.uk/myford-series-7-first-catalogues/ |

Love it!
I have a 1940s lathe and have used it for all sorts. They are a great tool to have around.

I've had an ML7 for a few years now and it has allowed me to make so many bits and pieces, especially for my Suzuki track bike. Well worth the money I paid and a solid investment

If anyone fancies the slightly bigger/better brother to this one, my Super 7 is on eBay www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115949400993I'm sure I could do a deal if it's going to someone on here. |
