It would be perfect for someone who wants a serious lathe, ready to go... The lathe is in OK cosmetic condition (tatty paint) and in perfect working order. and has a lifetime of use left in it. They literally don't make lathes like this any more and is far superior to its modern counterpart. They are heavier, sturdier run very quietly thanks to a good english motor (0.5hp, single phase, 240v, 1420rpm) We already have a MYFORD ML8, I bought this lathe for my dad 2 weeks ago because he wanted one of the accessories that came with the lathe (disk sander attachment) We did the boring part that was go up North to collect it. He has spent the week servicing it... Ah! to be retired. He has also built a good quality new base for it. (we can make a stand as well if you want, but you might want to do this yourself) It comes with everything you see in the photo attached to the lathe 2x Face pates, Inboard and outboard ______________________________________________________________________________________________ http://www.lathes.co.uk/myfordwood/ More ML8 Here Other Myford Lathes An interesting collection of literature is available for the ML8 Manufactured from the early 1950s to the mid 1980s (early versions were painted cream, later ones silver and the last ones light green) Myford's neat, well-made and beautifully finished 4-inch centre height wopod-turning lathe enjoyed a large and loyal following. The bed was made from a length of seamless drawn steel with an attractive dull nickel-plated finish and was available in three standard capacities of 30, 36 and 42 inches between centres. A standard 30-inch machine was catalogued as the ML8 but, when fitted with bowl turning became the ML8A and, with 36 and 42-inch beds as, respectively, the ML8B and ML8C. The makers could also supply separate bed sections, complete with individual mounting feet, to give a maximum length capacity of 72". The No. 1 Morse taper tailstock and the tool-rest assembly were both locked by levers that passed through a long slot cut into the front face of the bed and operating on clamps incorporating quick-action 2-start threads. The No. 1 Morse taper , 13/32" bore ground-finish headstock spindle ran on angular-contact ball bearings inside a completely enclosed headstock and carried a 4-step V pulley with a ring of 24 holes to assist in dividing and marking out; the nose thread was 1" x 12 tpi on the right-hand side and 7/8" x 12 tpi (left-hand) on the left-hand (bowl-turning) end. Unusually for an amateur's wood lathe the spindle was ground with proper registers behind the threads to allow the accurate fitting of metal-work chucks and heavier face-plates. The motor and countershaft unit were mounted underneath the lathe on a specially-constructed adjustable countershaft and drove upwards to the headstock spidle by a single "link" V belt. Four speed were available from the 1425 rpm motor (0.5 hp 3-phase ot 0/5 h.p and 0.75 hp 1-phase): 700, 1140, 1780 and 2850 rpm. Although initially available with a wide range of accessories - mortising, planing, sawing, polishing, grinding, bandsaw and metal-turning compound slides - by the end of the production only the basic lathe was offered. The ML8 is often found fitted to a longer version of the pressed-steel stand offered for the Series 7 metal-turning lathes; a short bed version, the ML8S was also produced, usually found fitted to a simple angle-iron underdrive stand and complete with outboard bowl turning and a metal-working compound slide rest from the ML7 metal-turning lathe.
