Myford ML7 lathe with gearbox, stand and tooling - stock code 9188

A Myford ML7 lathe, this one has come from a man who spent his life working in the gas turbine industry, his hobby hours spent building a 3 1/2 inch gauge locomotive.

Unused in many years, although grubby it's in good mechanical order. The spindle runs quietly at all speeds; the bed is in good condition, the saddle running smoothly from one end to the other.

Uprated over the years with various accessories, including a swivelling vertical slide and gearbox - the original change wheels and gear cover are included.

Tooling includes three and four jaw chucks, faceplates, catch plate, four way tool holder (as well as the original clamp type holder), tailstock chuck, revolving and dead centres along with a box of sundry drills, taps and cutting tools.

Mounted on a Myford cabinet stand and fitted with a single phase motor with drum type reverser switch. Complete with original operator's manual plus documentation for the gearbox and Pratt Burnerd chuck.
