Post subject: | Myford super 7B lathe with cross feed |
Bit of a long shot on here but I'm looking to sell my stunning and super rare Myford super 7B lathe, it is the long bed version with cross feed, spec is as follows: Its on a genuine myford stand/cabinet, has a genuine myford back gaurd, original myford quick change front and rear tool post with around 5 tool holders, Burnerd Griptru 100mm 3 Jaw SC Chuck c/w external jaws, a 6" 4 Jaw independant chuck, Faceplate Leadscrew Handle, Dial Indicator, 3 point steady, 2 point steady, Grease gun. There is quite a bit of other equipment with the machine which I'll list with pictures if there is any interest at all. The machine is 3 phase, I run it on a phase convertor but this is not included in the price. I'm looking for £3000. Anyone needing more information please pm me. Andy |

Easy (and cheap) to fit a single phase motor too, wouldn't want people put off a great little lathe by the three phase bit... |

That's exactly the same lathe set up that I've got, even down to the Transwave converter. Like Pash says, easy enough to do a single phase conversion, but I've never bothered. If anyone from here buys this lathe, I've a lot of books and manuals on the Myford that I'd be willing to lend them so they can familiarise themselves with it. |

I've actually been know to give turning lessons to anyone that will listen or wants to know how to do something specific. I'll chuck a couple of books and manuals in with the sale. If I had room at home I would never part with this, its a lovely old thing that is just nice to own, for me its not quite man enough for what I want to do on it and I'd flog it to death trying, shame really, I'll miss it.

Long shot I guess but I'll put an I need to move because I need the room price and drop it to £2500.00. I won't drop it again and I am probably giving it away but you have to show willing don't you. Andy |

I need a bigger workshop, getting the lathe down the garden would present the biggest problem for me |

The great old boy I bought this off is 87 and he deals in them (or pisses about with them and keeps himself busy and entertained). He delivers them in his citroen C4 picasso and uses an engine lift to put it in the car and get it out, I think 4 people could move one easy, I would think it weighs about 300 kilo, it is a bit top heavy but it splits from the base super easy.

Me, Paula and a mate shifted mine while still attached to the cabinet. We rolled it on a bit of scaffolding and then 'walked' it into situ. When you buy a lathe, you'll wonder how you've ever done without one. |

Daywalker and I took his in a Volvo estate (T5) and carried it and assembled it the two of us. But then again, we are hard and legends... |

I'm truly surprised I still have this lathe, with the amount of equipment coming with it and the quality of it, mainly genuine period Myford stuff and chucks are all Pratt and Burnard. Its so bang on the money, anyone could buy this lathe and sell it in five years and make decent money, it great for turning but also a pretty useful milling machine, better than money in the bank because you can use it. Like Adam says, when you get a lathe at home you wonder how you ever managed before and thats coming from someone who has 60 machines at work. Andy |

If I hadn't already got one, yours would have been in my shed a long time ago. As you say, this would make a sound investment, it's only going to make money. If you added up the value of the tooling that comes with it, it's nearly a free lathe ![]() |
