Tracked it down to being a Walter SVT100.

The plate on top is split into 9 with 60 marks in-between each 1-9

each number turns the chuck by 1 degree so 9 degrees a turn makes 40 turns for on revolution of the chuck.

Not sure if this is normal as i have never owned or used an indexing dial before. all seems fairly straight forward, now just need something to mount it on..........

Thanks guys

Hi guys.

I was looking at trying my hand at making some gears for my lathe and knew that one thing i would need is an indexing dial.

I saw this lump today and got it right cheap but I think I may have way overspeced...

Does anyone have any info on this piece of gear and or if have got something I will probably never use.....

Regards

Mat

ok. so if all the gears go on the banjo should i have to places to fit them?

as it its there is only one spindle to fit gears on, i think it would all make sense if there was an A position a B position and D was on the leadscrew.

thanks again for all your help guys i will give this a go in the morn and let you know how it goes!!

Thanks for the replys guys.

Starting to get my head round this a it now. still confused with a few things. on the table 6tpi for instance has no A gear and it seems the B and D are idles that only leaves a D gear???

how can it work with only one gear?

Hi Guys.

This is my first post so i hope it is in the right place.

I have bought an old Mellor lathe that I am very happy with as I only needed it for one quick job, but.... now I'm looking at learning/teaching myself to cut some threads on this.

It came with an assortment of gears but I think there may be a few missing.

The main problem I am having is working out which gear goes where. there is a thread cutting list on the side of the machineI believe this is the backgear and bullwheel.

This is the Lead screw but I am not sure how to measure TPI. if it is from the top or bottom of the thread, the verniers are set at 1" so i don't know if this is 4 or 5 TPIAnd this is whats on the back of the thing.The gear on the back of the main spindle is 32 teeth and the one after the tumbler gear is 32 but the first in the chain here is 20 teeth. I'm not sure if this is wrong and this first one should be 32 teeth also.

Any help would but gratefully appreciated.

If anyone needs any more info. pictures or gear tooth counts please let me know and i will add to the post..

Thanks

Mat
