I have finally moved on from my small Drummhand Roundbed lathe which has served me well for many years. I now have a pre-loved Myford ML7 lathe that I intend to use on some smaller projects over the summer, before dismantling and upgrading over the winter. Everything appears to work as it should with very little play, although there does appear to be some minor back lash which requires attention. As the picture shows, the lathe comes with a gearbox - Ive never seen one like this before, does anyone know if this is a Myford gearbox, if not where it may originate from.
