hi
ive recently got hold of a myford ML4 i think.. it appears to be in pretty good condition
for its age as i can find little about it, ive done google and the myford page which is quite good
it does have an ID mark YC405
i would be hoping to learn on small projects and work up to something steam related
there is 'almost' no play in the slides, the main bushes are tight, it came with a variable speed gearbox and motor
at some point i will get rit of the gearbox as a sparky friend of mine has promised to sort an electronic controller for me
it is missing the toolpost, as well as the morse taper/chuck, this is where i would apreciate some advice as to which size the morse is, and what toolpost to get if any particular size is needed
and which basic essential first must have's do i need to machine as at the moment ive only a chuck key and some allu stock
thanks heres some pics
