113 forum posts 6 photos	Hi all, I would be grateful of opinions here. I have been looking for a Myford vertical slide for some time for my ML7. Have reluctantly even tried EBay but with no luck. However I see that Chronos are offering one for £105 but of course it's from India. Has any one bought one of these? Are they any good? I am tempted by the thought of a new one for the price of a tatty one off EBay. Obviously the quality will not be the same but for hobby use? What do you think? thanks in anticipation Malc.

113 forum posts 6 photos	Hi Bob, Thanks for the reply, it has given me more confidence to buy the slide. My first lathe was a Chinese model and I was quite sceptical when I first bought it, but it turned out to be OK. Very impressed with your pictures and quality of your projects. I guess I'll have to push the boat out and spend some money- after first consulting my financial controller (S.W.M.B.O) of course! Thanks again. Malc.
