Hi, I was an avid reader of ME and MEW from about 1975 to the mid nineties, I used to have an ML10 and want a replacement! I have several 3D printers and a new Axminster wood turning lathe, I’m a member of the Highlands Woodturning Club who normally meet in Munlochy just North of Inverness. Last time I was reading ME the internet was not quite here – so this is a new experience . My last workshop was misplaced in house moves – three decades worth of accumulated engineering paraphernalia – so I’m coming back to the hobbies and pastimes I really enjoyed, now I’m not a nomad!

Hi Roger welcome to the forum. What are you interested in making. I have family near you in Balintore not that far from you I believe.

Welcome Roger. I had a Myford ML10 from the 1980s with roller bearings. Really nice capable machine.

Ah yes, Balintore, bit further south, and yes the ML10 with roller bearings, aka the Speed 10, was very nice indeed, mine was a 1976 model, purchased from an Engineering Supplies emporium in Scarborough. At the time I was desirous of a Unimat as my interest was 'watchmaking', but I was persuaded to get a bigger, more capable machine. It was a good choice, as I was at University in Nottingham, I used to pass the site of Myford Mecca in Beeston every day. Tremendously sad that the land was worth more than the business.

Hi Roger,

I'm sure your experience and advice with 3D printing will be appreciated as much as we can help you with more traditional tools.
