Welcome Danny!
Lots of helpful folk on here.

My first lathe was a Myford ML7, after many years of wishing

Remember that the dimensions and threads on the lathe will be Imperial, not Metric!

If you do not have one, you will, find a Digital Calliper useful for measuring. Keep spare batteries in stock!

You will certainly find  a set of Zeus Charts useful (Still using my 1958 copy).

Buy some books, such as: Stan Bray “Basic Lathework”, or Harold Hall, “Lathework, A Complete Course”, or  L H Sparey “The Amateur’s Lathe”

You may find Ian Bradley’s “The Myford 7 Series Manual” and his “The Amateur’s Workshop” helpful.

A good reference book is Tubal Cain’s “Model Engineer’s Handbook” also.

You will, find that, now, you can do all sorts of work that you could, not do before.

Enjoy yourself, and undertake small jobs , to get familiar with the lath, before undertaking anything serious.

Good Luck!

Howard
