Hi All
Technically not Austin Seven related but….
I’ve used my old Myford ML lathe for several years now. It was knackered when I bought it (cost £120), but has deteriorated under my misuse and neglect. So I took a chance on a Myford ML4 on eBay for the princely sum of £350 including delivery.

Over the last week I’ve disassembled it, stripped the paint, cleaned it, painted it and assembled it.

It is in much better nick than my old lathe and has the advantage of having a longer bed and 3 1/2” centre height.
Just need the drive belt to arrive and I can do some test cuts.
Cheers
Howard
