So, you used your lathe to repair your lathe. Nice :D

That Myford is a peach! Geoffrey Croker did a multiple part series on the complete restoration of his Myford lathe. By the time he was done, I was convinced that the Myford is an exceedingly well designed and built turning machine. If you ever have questions about that machine, use his series as a reference... very thorough disassembly and assembly material. Have fun and thanks for another great video!

Love watching highly competent people being enthusiastic about customising old beautiful machines. Joy to see them being used and improved.

Such a fine lathe. I know that you will enjoy time spent freshening it up.

Always fun to get new toys! Especially toys that make other toys.

Congratulations on such a fine acquisition !

When I saw the title, I thought it was à Myfordboy’s New vid ... when you started to talk, my brain took a few seconds to reboot hahaha ! Good catch !!

My my, that has to be the prettiest new tool you've ever added.

Congrats on the purchase. The lathe looks marvelous after all those years.

I think the label on the machine gives it more rigidity😊

Got myself one of these several years ago - it's brilliant! Health to enjoy 🤠

My local hardware shop has a brand new myford in his store room from when he was an agent in the 70's

Congrats for the new lathe. Nice to see whenever old machines get a second life.

i love to see people take pride in ownership of there machines your lathe is in good hands

That's a very nice lath congratulations six stars brother

Congrats for the new acquisition and I'm sure that the projects will be more amazing than ever!! Can't wait to see

The lathe is in very good condition to be more than 60 years old. You made a great purchase.

Congratulations on the fine lathe find! Thanks for sharing. 😃

I would love one of those, what a fantastic buy! Look forward to the handle fix too👍

Looking forward to seeing future projects on your new lathe... Take care my friend...

Well done 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦

Man, can’t wait to see this beauty in action in some future videos.

Now _that's_ a solid chunk of kit; nice find! 👍 Oh yeah, you need to re-check the accuracy _after_ applying the sticker; I believe it's supposed to add two or three zeros after the decimal place, which would make the new run-out ~0.0002mm. 😁

I just now noticed you're up to 2.2M subs. Wow! You're killing it, mah dude! Well deserfved!

Just got one today...so excited 🎉

Hi we are RDG TOOLS a Model Engineering tool company based in Mytholmroyd West Yorkshire. We sell new and used tools. We also own the Myford Lathes Brand. We took over Myford around 12 years ago. Both company's are in the same building and we are open to the public. We are still building new Myford lathes and refurbished Myford lathes.

i love your solution to the not the right part issue 😁👍 nice work 😁👍

Beautiful

Nice score! Wicked cool! I absolutely love your videos!

Living in a third world country (Argentina) always amazes me that you can buy an original spare part of a 70 years old machine. Almost everything I need I must build from scratch or adapt from something else. Anyway, congratulations for your new toy-tool.

Congratulations on your new addition to your shop! It looks great!

SWEET!

gorgeous machine!

A 4 jaw independent chuck is a great accessory... that 3 jaw chuck is fairly worn ... I bought a tailstock lever attachment (easy to make) for drilling and removed the handwheel ... I never put it back on !! It looks like you have the long bed version... nice ! 🙂👍 My ML7 is pretty well worn out as I used it for making a living for 20 years, not really what they were made for... 🤷‍♂️ 😎👍☘🍺

Beautiful piece of machinery.

They are great lathes. The best mod I s adding an inverter and 3 phase motor, it gives variable speeds.

Awesome, great workshop!

You got the posh version on a stand. Well done.

Great addition to the workshop. Congrats.

Brilliant video! Thanks, as always for sharing your work!

What a beauty!

Hurray for what seems to be the first new tool in your workshop that does not need extensive restauration!

I have the exact same lathe and love it.

Oh man this is a beautiful machine.. I want a lathe. I think I'll be buying a mini Lathe from VEVOR bcos it's all I can afford atm. Priorities bro.. I really like this machine. My 1st time seeing this style of lathe tbh.

Fantastic acquisition for your shop!

I had a ML4, it was a smaller machine however the rear bed slide was of tri-angular profile and it made the bed ridgid for a small machine. I've seen some really coolstuff made on these,probably more because of the engineer rather than the machine.

Congrats and enjoy it a lot.

Beautiful piece of equipment.......congrats to you!

Watchin' lathe videos. ...Sober, this time!

Amazing and inspiring.

Very exciting!

Congrats on your new, old lathe. I can't wait to see what you turn out on it. (Pun intended)

Mmmmmmmmmm.

Awesome Lathe machine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AWESOME Notifications.

Ohh top stuff Dude 😀 can't go wrong with an ML7,really chuffed for you,i'm in the market for one myself,i have the cash,just got to splash it!! 😀

Same model that I run, mine is 72yrs old now and as reliable as the day she was built

It's a beauty

That was cool bro Nice machine

Very well done, BBP!! I hope you're doing well!!

Great machine sir thanks for sharing this video sir.

Congrats! Looks really nice.

Lathe'r man 😁

Congratulations on your new acquisition, it is in excellent condition and you will surely leave it even better! I look forward to your future work using that beautiful lathe, I send you a hug from southern Argentina.

You can use the serial number to find the exact year of manufacture, my ML7 is from 1954, great machine 👌

Very nice lathe. I would like to learn how to use one

so great 😍✌️✌️✌️

beautiful machine !!

A little envy ;)

Awesome

Nice made in England

Файно👍

So good to see your shop growing, this is the easiest restored tool in your shop! Looking forward to seeing it in use. BTW, was the correct part not available?

How is the spindle held while screwing off the chuck?

Beleza pura mano, mas coisas boas vem aí com certeza. VALEU! TAMO JUNTO!

1:21 much (most?) of that backlash seems to down to poor adjustment of the thrust collar, not wear in the leadscrew - you can clearly see the lost motion before the slide starts to move. No harm having changed the leadscrew, which we could see later was clearly worn but adjusting that correctly would have been a good first step. Looks like a half decent machine!

Looks you need have new spindlebearing too

🔥🔥🔥

Got myself a 1971 Myford ML7 2years ago, good little machine. Check out Steve Jordan and Ade Swash channels they have made some good jigs etc for improving the myford lathe! Great video as always👍🏻👍🏻

Nice 👍👍👍😎😎😎

Are you disposing of the old lathe? It served you well and had a great antique look.

So now you have a Myford, good for you. I see you loosen or tighten the chuck by jamming the low ratio gears together. Please don't do that - someone did that with my Myford and the gears stripped and I had to have new ones made. A much better method is to put a piece of flat bar on edge under the cap screw that locks the spindle gear to the shaft. It's right behind the chuck spindle bearing under the belt cover. That way there's no danger of damaging the gears. There are several KZfaq clips showing the method.

Now the most important thing. How much did it cost?😉

👍👍👍

😎👍

Thought it was a gatling gun lol

It looks like the spindle is shaking when turning.

Can anyone tell me where I can get those oilers?

...THAT NEW ADDITION SHOULD GET 'ER DONE, HAVE A GOOD ONE, KEEP SAFE...

what brand of lathe is this

speravo in video di restauro/ricostruzione

Do a workshop toor

👍👍🙌😁

😍😍👏👏

It sounds like a bucket of bolts when he's running it. By the time he has bought all the parts to make it good, he will have spent enough money on this old junk that he could have bought a brand new Chinese lathe that would have:- # A better width to turning diameter ratio thus giving much better rigidity, and finish on jobs; # Proper V-ways eliminating slop and vibration; # A proper means of mounting the check instead that dangerous spindle screw thread, making reverse turning and a chuck brake impossible; # Safety interlocks that prevent common accidents.

Great video. Awesome new machine!

I would go for Colchester

What a beauty!
