104 forum posts 19 photos	Hello from East Sussex. My garage is my workshop, Myford ML7R and a Warco mill drill. My main interest has always been classic motorcycle restoration and riding, but I seem to be losing the faith these days and can see myself moving into model engineering. I will probably get into model IC engines, something easy to begin with. I have many years of basic turning behind me, so not a complete novice. I look forward to being a forum member. Kind regards. Adrian.

104 forum posts 19 photos	Thank you Michael for the welcome. Here is my first question. Does anyone have any first hand experience of the new Myford big bore lathes currently being produced. Quality and accuracy being my concern of course. Expensive , yes, but you do seem to get a lot for the money. My ML7R has served me faithfully for nearly forty years ,but the 5/8" through bore is limiting. 1" would be so much better. I know a Colchester, Harrison etc makes more sense but the Myford can be so versatile with all the accessories available. Thanks. Adrian.
