Myford Lathe - What's the benefits

... 'I now have my Mr Silky, he is all one could ever want in a lathe '
'Mr Silky' ... :scratch: I take it you mean the Prazimat ? ... a pic would help.
I wanted a Myford Super 7B, there was one for sale at the Harrogate exhib' back in 2012, but boy oh boy the price :jaw: I ended up getting a Chinese WM250V-F & a WM16 mill, both with stands & the usual accessories for the same price & so far so good with a couple of tweaks here & there both have performed most satisfactorily with what I've given them to do, touch wood.

My Mr Silky. He cost half of what I was going to pay Myford for a new Connoisseur. :med:

Very nice it is too I wish I was that tidy or had that little stuff, no disrespect intended. The second statement removes the possibility of the first, either way very very nice.

That's a lovely HLV. What a small lathe should be IMO.
MetalMagus:
Again thanks for all the feed back.
I am going to have to get something that can be bench mounted. A machine on a full size base just is not going to fly for me in terms of space.
Myford may not be my only choice. There others of the same vintage that come along that would work. I like to keep an eye on the for sale page on the "Lathes" website as there are some good bargains to be had on there at times.
Like I said no need to rush into things and I'll keep cogitating on it. When the right machine appears hopefully I will be in a position to nab it. Will let you know when I do.
Thanks
Sean
