If anyone is in the Reading/Bracknell, and is thinking about this, i would double up to keep travelling costs down,

Not in a mad rush so could fit in datewise

Well Darren and Peter visited and spent 5hrs looking over the S7. Was very honest about it, esp the slightly bent toolpost slide thread screw, that wasnt worth spending money on to replace as the 'tightness' was at the far end of the travel.

all the inbuilt 'wear' of which there wasnt much wa eliminated nas it is a joy to use again

And worth every penny, considering their day must have been about 111-12hrs including travel.

Well and worthily recommended

Not been around here a while,as my myford is basically unuseable.its way out of spec,although seems to run ok.It badly needs a decent set up.my attempts,hsvent made much inroads.plus i dont have time with various work projects Its more economical to me to pay for it to be done

With that in mind,i mailed Darren about 2 years ago eventually he responed,,and told me that he would get back to me,when hes going to be in area .I badgered him every few months,eventually this week he told me that his partner didnt fancy the journey to essex No problem and i respect his decision,it was nice of him to tell me.even tbough i offered at least 25%more than his standard rates

Anyway im stil without a fully functioning lathe if anyone is selling a fully serviced,plug and go myford,drop me a line
