| HS93:
I fancy a change of Lath and have always fancied a ML10 dont know why but it's just one of them things the 7'S never did much for me. maybe because it was a bit smaller I dont know. any thought on them, anyone use one ? Peter |
| bogstandard:
Hi Peter, I looked at the ML10 in great detail, many years ago, and came to the conclusion that it was just a smaller version of the 7, but made down to a price. Without all the bells and whistles (and in some areas, quality as well). Who would have thought of using the saddle winding handle as your screwcutting gauge. It is now a very dated design. I think this will give you a deeper insight. http://www.lathes.co.uk/myford/page4.html It now seems that the Sieg C4 and it's clones have cornered the market for that size of lathe. A real nice bit of kit if you are looking for an alternative. http://www.mini-lathe.com/m4/C4/c4.htm John |

Don't know much (well anything really) about the myford... however, I plan to get the c4 or the c6 maybe this summer. I don't think you could go wrong with either one. Hopefully Cedge will chime in with his experience with the c4 (I think) Eric |
| Bernd:
Eric, Is that c4 about the size of the Grizzly I have? It's a 9X19 I think. I wonder if they've gotten better since I bought mine about 10 years ago? Bernd |
| Brass_Machine:
Bernd, Close. I think it is 8x?? I know it isn't the same as the 9x19... totally different machine. Eric |
