I'm not a complete beginner, having done some work over the years on my dad's ML10 – but I have just bought a very nice Super 7B on a Myford stand and need to get to know it. Judging by the serial number, it is from around 1980 (SK150***) and has a powered cross feed and a gearbox.

I'd be very grateful for advice on reading material. Is there a Myford manual for this model, covering the more recent versions? Also, can anyone recommend a good book to help get to know it?

Thanks, Roger

The manual is readily available on line as a pdf download, though I hesitate to provide a link one here for copyright reasons.

One of the better books is; Myford Series 7 Manual, by Ian Bradley.

ISBN: 9780852427750

Wow, thanks for the super-quick response! And the excellent advice. I've downloaded the manual and ordered the book. Any other suggestions gratefully received, but I suspect these will keep me going for a while.

I'm considering adding a coolant system as the stand includes a nice deep tray – for relatively occasional use, is this worthwhile, or more of a hassle than a help?

Roger, have a look at your inbox, on the top green banner of the page, as you have an as yet unread email.

Thanks Bill, yes, I hadn't spotted the flashing envelope!

Does anyone have opinions on the coolant system? Is it worth looking for the Myford one (although I have the standard stand, not the industrial cabinet so no dedicated space for a tank) – or would a generic aftermarket be a good bet? Or not bother for relatively light use?
