Just had Daren and Peter ( ex Myford Employees), down to give my lathe a good fettle.
Over the years i have had it (20) you dont notice the little bits of wear and slack thet build up ovdr time. ( rather like th cars steering, it is onlt when someone else drives it and comments it gets you thinking
.
It was seeing another listees S7 that brought this home. smooth cross slide travel etc, and i wouldn't guess how much the live centre and tilaock might be out of true.
They took just over 5hrs and to say i now have a new lathe is an understatement ,and what might have taken me several days without knowing if i had improved or worsened it, was over in 5hrs!
Great guys and good tories about the old firm
Would recommend them with no hesitation at all.
Ron
