Thanks for the video Steve, I have watched many of your videos starting from your earlier days and you have come a long way. One question, why have you never availed yourself of clutch attachment for the ML7, I cannot imagine working without it. Secondly, something you, and probably many other home machinists do, is blow your machine off with compressed air. It is an easy way to clean the machine but it forces fine swarf etc into the moving parts and gaps of the machinery.
