FOR SALE: Myford ML10 Lathe and Myford Rodney Mini Miller
I am selling this combination with some reluctance, but the recent purchase of a Super7 makes my workshop too crowded to accommodate both lathes.
The ML10 is a late 1970s model with roller bearing headstock and is in generally good condition. It has raising-blocks, a dog-clutch to the lead-screw, needle-roller bearings to the cross-slide to reduce play, shop-made tumble reverse, re-settable thimbles to both the cross-slide and the lead-screw (N.B., the cross-slide thimble is graduated 1 to 50, i.e 2 thou per grad, but clear enough to judge a thou). The headstock drive-belt is brand new.
The motor is a single phase 250Watt(1/3HP ) (a brand-new 550Watt (2/3 HP) motor is available as an alternative at extra cost).The lathe is mounted on original Myford tray on a welded steel stand with levelling feet. There is a fitted Dewhurst reversing switch.
Accessories include the Rodney Mini Miller with drive-dog , a 3 jaw Bernerd chuck, an RDG QC toolpost (which will take 10mm/ 3/8" tools thanks to the reduced height top slide; sorry, no tool-holders!), 2MT drill chuck 1mm-13mm , 2MT ER25 chuck with some collets (both these last can be used in the mill), fixed steady, draw bar for both head- and tailstock, tailstock knock-out bar, various Whit and BA spanners, the essential cut-down allen key for engaging back gear, and other bits and pieces. Also a rear parting tool post (needs a blade!) and an 8 piece set of carbide tipped turning tools.

Lead-screw dog clutch, Dewhurst switch, stand with shelf.
Couple of marks on the bed but generally good condition with not a lot of wear.
An old but usable chuck - early Bernerd - with key.
Serial number (late 1970s)
and re-settable lead-screw dial graduated in thou.
Needle-roller bearings to cross-slide to reduce backlash. I used the set offered by Arc Eurotrade.
I also used their thimble for the re-settable collar. Note that the collar has 50 divisions, so 2 thou per division!
New headstock belt
Felt wipers to saddle and tailstock
Reduced-height top-slide to accomodate QC toolpost
QC toolpost from RDG Tools, but sorry, no tool-holders! Also, apron to keep swarf in control.
The tumble-reverse was modified from a drawing in Model Engineer October 19, 1979
Full set of 11 change-wheels
Tools and accessories. (The wood block sits on the bed to allign the chuck; the little gadget at the bottom left fits your cordless drill and engages the cross-slide for powered facing off. )
Mini-Mill on its storage stand
Mini-Mill installed on lathe bed.
Almost-new belt; ER25 collet chuck installed. (The nose of the spindle is threaded the same as the lathe spindle).
Re-settable vertical slide thimble.
