I've just completed reading the thread over the last couple of days and it has been quite inspirational.
Amongst other current projects, I am looking at converting a Myford ML 7 to CNC. Some time ago I saw an article where a chap had started to do this but it seemed to have dried up before it got anywhere. Apart from that I haven't seen much on Myford 7 series CNC conversions.
I'm looking forward to an update on the Colchetser project and I will be looking for more pics and vids from you.
Keep on in there!
