    I really like the induction hardening of the bed and gears.

    We had one of the Student (@ 3:00 mins) models that the bed was worn out on, it had been used dry for hardwood turning before my boss swapped it for a perfect Myford 7 he thought was undersized for our needs, I managed to do a multiway deal on it, with another dept who only needed a short travel and faceplate work lathe, for a toolroom lathe from another part of that dept.
