Myford Stand Alternative

(1/3) > >>

Richard Lee:
I would like to purchase a stand for my Myford Ml7, but prices for a new one are extortionate and I've been pipped-at-the-post a number of times on the auction site.  :bang:

Could anyone recommend an alternative, off the shelf item, please?  Thank you.

Depending on your location collection might be an option?

Bit of a hike from Stroud to Kes or somewhere Back o'Skidda'! In any case, the guy probably needs a chip tray and raising blocks for a ML7.

Mine -for my S7B is on a fabricated stand and is on solid raising blocks on a 'another drip tray.

The cheapest is probably to unearth the drawings from an ancient copy of ME and have some local guy weld it up.

Wasn't there a club in Fitz Park in 'Wookington'?  I vaguely recall one.

I've actually got a '7' drip tray but it is in use but not on the Myford.

Good Luck

I used a stand from a Myford ML8 wood lathe with a drip tray on top. I have not looked for ages but these used to come up fairly cheap on the bay (often with the lathe) and are almost identical to the standard Myford stand albeit slightly different dimensions (a little larger I think). I paid £50 for mine (without the attached lathe). Added the drip tray and some riser blocks for levelling.
