During my Tech. days many many years ago, we had Myfords, but was not keen on them, probably because they were well used (abused) by previous students. My preference was for DSG's for medium work and for precision work we had Hardinge centre lathes also Hardinge centerless turret lathes. I worked in the Aerospace industry mid sixties early seventies.

I would expect for home use the Myford would be perfect.
