Myford

[HMF]

I hear that Myford is either shutting down operations or reorganizing.

Has anyone heard anything more about this?

Thanks,

Selling off stuff this weekend at the factory it seems.

Stop by after lunch with William & Kate.

Sad day if true. A Super 7's always been high on my Lotto List.

I have heard mixed reviews about RDG. I believe they make a test bar for leveling a lathe.

It certainly seems that Myford priced themselves out of business, as good as their machines were.

Certainly not good news for us guys who have a Myford, & want spares at some stage, I wonder how accurate and good RGD spares will be ? however good luck to the guys I for one will be happy if "Back Up" is one of these days up and running again

I have had my Myford now for about 16 years, it has been a good lathe, and is the second one i have owned over the last 40 years. Both were second hand machines My present machine is in good condition.
