--Hey does anyone know when Myford is going to get around to fixing their website? Seems to me any decent company would fix the kind of problem they have inside of a week at the most. Their site's been a lame duck for over a month now..
About the same time Hell freezes over?
I guess you can draw your own conclusions from that ;-)
I suspect that they are only just starting to graduate from using mechanical calculators...any time now, they might enter the 20th Century...

It look OK to me.

Unless you are interested the prices of their products, which are missing from several pages.
Rang them yesterday asking about the price of a stand for my ML7 with a tray but no riser blocks, which I already have. The price they quoted for a stand plus tray was greater than that for the stand,complete with tray and blocks. When I queried this absurdity it was suggested that I should buy the stand with tray and blocks and flog my existing blocks on eBay! Robert
I last week ordered a new leadscrew for my ML10 the guy in sales seeme
very helpful, took the serial No. of my lathe etc and said they had i in stock, I paid by credit card and it arrived promptly, I cut the en off to the marked position (as mine has the dog clutch) assembled i all, when I tried to fit the leadscrew handle mine was 5/16 BSF the ne one was 3/8 BSF. It wouldn't go through the mandrel so I could turn i down to 5/16. I phoned Myford to let them know they'd sent me the wron one, there answer was that I would have to purchase a new handle an locknut. As the guy had taken all my details re machine No. etc woul have thought it would be correct ????? Fortunately I have a friend wh was able to resize it. Wasn't very happy with Myford service here, thought they would hav supplied the handle and nut free as they told me it was the correc leadscrew

If you have to ask the price you can't afford it.
This makes sense they have made and packaged the 3 items into a single package, to sell you a stand without blocks they have to pay someone to break open an existing package remove the blocks & re-pack the remainder. Then they are left with a surplus of blocks to carry on their inventory.
Why not bore the handle out to 3/8"?
Mark Rand RTFM
No, it doesnt make sense. They list and price all of the items separately, in addition to the complete package so it is not a question of "breaking open an existing package". i.e.:
20/038 Stand with deep tray and blocks £443.73 20/285 Stand £383.95 20/024 Deep tray £56.27 20/025 Blocks £95.90Robert
Whatever happened to JIT and "pull" production ?
