TBH, had I the room, I would look at acquiring either a Myford or a Boxford. That being said, I don't have the room so it is a bit of a moot point for the moment. Heck, I don't even have room for two 7x lathes, but two I have.Well, the spindle bore on the ML7 and standard Super 7 is 19/32", about 15mm. There is the Super 7B which has a 1 1/2" bore but those seem to be uncommon and even more expensive.
A good personal friend has a Boxford and guess who has been asked to go over that and set it up when he brings it south from his parents place to his own place? yup, yours truly! I have been promised unlimited use of it if/when I ever need use of a more capable lathe, so that trade is fine by me and suits us both as he can be taught a few basic things at the same time.
