plans after I get the hang of making metal smaller...well im not sure if I'm honest.

I think I'd like to try a basic engine of sorts, I've watched lots of YouTube as is tradition and there are numerous projects on there...

don't tell her indoors but I just got the email fro. Arc saying the Sx2P is back in stock so I've just ordered one..🙄😂

Thank you.

i'm in Farnborough. I was considering an axminster but its a good few hundred more than some and has the tilting head. Reading the reviews the solid column seems to be better/more rigid but happy to be told differently!

Good day to you all - I've been reviewing many a thread on this site - some really helpful info for me a complete novice.

My father had wood working lathes and spent hours in his shed. A lathe has always been something I've wanted and so I found a Myford ML7 for sale locally - an engineer owned it and only wanted what seemed a fair price.

I paid my money and took my chance - it was delivered to my door on a bench and so far has only needed, new oil lite bushings all round, new counter shaft, new oilers - complete strip down to remove all the grease which had been pumped into the oil ways....

A bit of paint and it's up and running nicely...

I love it - I make chips....and that's it....just taking chunks of metal and making them smaller is so therapeutic!

Now I want a Mill. I've been looking at the SX2 but it is clearly a rubbish time to buy as everything seems to be out of stock...

Anyone selling one - let me know.

Thanks

Jon

This has been a very useful thread to catch up on.

Thank you
