What a lovely person you are sir. You remind me of my grandfather. I've watched your videos and I feel joy and sadness at the same time. Much love and respect from the other side of the world Iran 🇮🇷
@@MrFactotum I didn't want to make my earlier comment to long. But here is a long story made very short. My grandfather worked for an British engineering company and because of his great performance he was gifted with a mayford ml7. He had it in his office for many years. Now I own it and I'm very grateful. Your videos are very helpful and explained in great detail. Thank you
@@SHARE577 Hi Cy Cy Very nice story, you must be very proud of your grandfather, he must have been a great engineer, I hope you enjoy using his Myford lathe. thanks for feedback take care Mr f
What ho Mr F, In the olden days price was often a guide to quality but nowadays you cant be sure anymore. Even going for known name brands is no longer a guarantee, if a dodgy source is selling knock offs. The original belts on my Chester mill were rubbish, almost from new they caused knocking and shed rubber like a street racer. Continental brand from a local bearing supplier cured things for many years and weren't overly costly. Looking forward to part next. ATB c
hi chris yep, your spot on there, my moto is buy cheap, change more frequent if required, i'm not a total skinflint, but like value for money. Brand names, warranties, guarantees, promises and Insurance, arn't worth the paper there written on today. The clocks ticking on these belts so watch this space🤣🤣🤣 take care mr f
Firstly thank you for doing this series it's nice to see inside such an iconic machine,secondly what a tribute to the original belt quality 15 years of heavy use !! Looking forward to re assembly and set up .
