Hi,

Can anyone suggest a service engineer for a Myford Super 7 Lathe in the Essex area.

What does ‘service’ mean? There is nothing much on a Myford you can’t, or don’t do yourself, on almost a weekly basis if the lathe is in regular use. Ensure lubrication, adjust gibs, check belt condition and tension etc. What else would/could a ‘service engineer’ do unless the rear spindle bearings are completely shot, which is hardly likely.

There have been previous mentions/posts of a couple of ex-Myford factory fitters who offered a mobile service. A search of past threads may find them.

As Chris says above, most of what most lathes need can be done by the owner. Plenty of help on here if you have questions.

PS found one. Here is a very old thread about Myford mobile service. The fitters’ email and phone number are mentioned further down the thread. No idea if they are still in business though. https://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/topic/myford-lathe-service/

Perhaps you could let us know what you find out,in case others are interested in the future.
