Intro – a Cambridge hobbyist

[milesincamParticipant @milesincam]

Hello all,

I’m a scientist in Cambridge, also a keen woodworker and sometime machinist.  I enjoy the use of a good condition Myford 7, which I’m still learning how best to use. I’ve had exposure to larger lathes, and classic Bridgeport type mills, so I am still hoping to find a small but good mill to add to the workshop.

I look forward to being able to ask questions of more experienced folk, and also to answer when i can…

cheers

Miles

Hello Miles, Sound advice to join a club and welcome to the party. I’m not so far from you up near Hunstanton. Which Myford 7 do you use ? An ML 7 or Super 7. Best wishes, Noel.

Welcome to the forum. I live in a village between Cambridge and Cambourne, on the A428, and one of my mills is a Bridgeport.

I visited the Cambridge club many years ago but sadly it wasn’t a good experience and I’ve never been back.
