I thought this would be good for a first project. Its not the best ever built but I am having blast making it. External threading still has to be done on the handle and I will use the lathe for that.

Thanks for looking

Colin

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the reply. I have a 1960's Myford ML-7 with a 7" swing. I am looking for a comparable size mill if you happen to know of one looking for a new home :-)
 
I thought I recognized the unique lathe ways, maybe from lurking on British & other model engineering forums. This one up for sale recently is pretty rich in tooling but apparently they hold their value when in nice shape. http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/showthread.php?t=27151&highlight=myford

Sorry, no knowledge of available mills as of late. Every once in a while I get dangerous thoughts about upgrading from my RF-45 mill. But then I take a cold shower & 'rationalize' myself with the long list of other tools & machines I still want & don't have.
