FS: Lathe

A few people have in the past, expressed an interest in buying a lathe.
Well, one of mine is for sale. It's a Myford ML7, a very popular
hobbyist's lathe. You can learn more about it at:

http://www.lathes.co.uk/myford-ml7/index.html

Mine comes pretty well equipped:

ML7, with clutch, on maker's stand, in fair to good condition (couple of
minor dings on the ways at the headstock end, nothing that affects
accuracy)
Set of changewheels (complete as far as I know)
2 x 3 jaw chucks (internal and external jaws)
4 jaw chuck
Face plate
Catch plate
Fixed steady
2 position quick change toolpost with 4 holders
Light
Set of replaceable tip carbide tools
Manufacturer's oil gun

It's ready to start work, just plug it in and go. There are photographs
of the actual machine at:

It's in North Herts (near Hitchin) and you can come and have a play with
it if you're interested. I could deliver within 50 miles or so for the
cost of the petrol.

I'm told it's worth about 600 to 800 quid. Any UKRM regular (or regular
in another N.G. I haunt) can have it for £600, otherwise it's going on
Ebay.

Yes, but what about the lath...

Oh, never mind.

 

Depends if he's plastered or not.

Blimey, you're on form tonight.

 

This brings back memories: I made nearly a third of a Royal Enfield with
the help of a lathe just like it because buying spares was near
impossible for me at the time. I am interested but making space in the
garage would be real difficult at the moment.

I would loose so many brownie points if I bought any more
tools...............

 

lol, Noah's original kit.

I bought a CNC turning centre last year off a company that went bust. They
paid 24 grand three years ago and I paid three grand.

Great piece of kit. Runs off a normal PC so even a twat like me can work it.

BTW, I've got some stuff for you Nigel. Delrin, SRBP, SRBF, Nylon, PMMA,
PTFE. Sheet, rod and tube. I must get it up to you.

Cool, that'd be nice. Cheers.

 

Sorry for the delay. It's just a time thing. We've been doing a roll out for
Boots/FCUK. This is clear now so I'll phone and arrange delivery soon.

No worries, I wasn't expecting priority handling[1].

[1] Go on you buggers, have this one on me.

 

I told you you didn't need to spend more than 2 grand on a PC, FFS...
