Thread: Help with potential first lathe. ML7 content
05/02/2021 13:26:58

Apologies about the pictures, I put them up before noticing the album feature.

The lathe sold before I had decided what to do, but I think that is for the best as It gives me some more time to save and decide exactly what I want. I am now looking at Boxford lathes as well, they seem in a similar price point as the ML7

I have found a Myford ML7 fairly close by

Hi Matt, can I ask how did you find it? I'm also looking for a first lathe and I'm not sure where to look aside from eBay.

Ebay is a good place, there are also some on Facebook marketplace.

I got luck by seeing a random message from someone who was looking to sell.

It's difficult to tell without actually looking at it and looking for excessive play in bearings and leadscrews etc but a quick trawl of one that have been sold on ebay and elsewhere shows a range of £450 to £950.

Do you knew a Myford owner that you could take with you for a look, virus restrictions notwithstanding?

Brian

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately I don't know any Myford owners in the area. I have one friend who may be able to come and have a look who has more knowledge than me, I will see if he can come.

They are looking for around £800 to £950, so at the top of the price range.

Hello everyone. I'm looking for buy my first lathe to learn and tinker with in the garage to keep me out of trouble

I have found a Myford ML7 fairly close by and would like to pick your brains to see if it might be a good buy. It is owned by a woman who inherited it a few years ago and u believe hasn't been used in the time.

I know picture don't tell you much. But any ideas on a rough price that would be fair for this?
