DIY Myford Lathe Stand


Sometimes you need to make your own gear to fit a specific space or requirement. I made this lathe stand for my Myfold ML7 from 40mm box section steel. I arc welded it to give it meat at the joints rather than TIG welding. I did think about fillet welding it with brass and lacquering the frame, but due to time restraints cracked on with the low hydrogen rods. Turned out all right. Just need to enamel paint it now. Happy days.
