Thread: Myford ML7

Hi,

Nice old Myford for sale. Would be good for someone starting out.

Really nice condition it's worth the starting price in accessories being myford.

That looks like a very well cared for lathe and well worth the price being asked. If it was a BIN I'd urge anyone wanting a SMALL lathe like this to jump on it. They hold their value very well and can easily be sold on if you want to move on/up/drop dead. The latter sadly how many come to be listed in the first place ... "cleaning out Dad's crap from the shed".

Personally I think the Myfords fetch far more than they should, as they're really tiny, even compared to a Hercus, but not everyone wants to go shopping in a capital city while driving a Hummer, and it's all a question of the work you're doing. If smaller work is your deal, and you want a screw cutting lathe with excellent support, this is no doubt the way to go.
