That was great, thanks.

[@Rolingmetal]

you must have made a huge pile of cast iron dust.

I suppose it could have been worse if I hadn't cut of that slice in the first place. Yes, I was looking at it accumulating and thinking "That's £10 there." Everything in the shed (including the inside of my lungs I think) is now covered in a fine film of teeny tiny particles.

hey up ! took your advice .. my friend is putting my ml10 on the internet and my goal is to use the money from the ml10 to serve as deposit for a decent super 7 going to be a long drawn out process but i have the patience of an oyster.. and will see what transpires. apreciate any help or comment ... wish me luck the whole world is out there .. probably with super 7 s running out of thier ears ,,,who knows ....help ... laurence....

Well that's what I'd be doing. No point in trying to make the ML10 do something it wasn't built for. I'm all for cobbling things together - and have done it many times - but it would be a costly 'dead end' when the Super 7 is still available, with plentiful spare parts, and serviceable examples come up regularly at reasonable prices. Advice? Set your budget. Absolute maximum £2000 should get you an excellent machine that will be working 'out of the box'. Due to my financial circumstances, I had to go for the other route - which I show in the videos - of buying a pile of parts that can be made to work. But I have a general knowledge of machinery and plenty of free time. Realistically, you can look at the £1000-£1500 range, provided you expect to find little things that are undisclosed during the sale, and are willing to throw 'new' parts at. Myford, the present day company (not the actual company that built the lathes) is an expensive parts provider. I would try to find sources on Ebay before resorting to their extortion.
