Hi Brian

I think your suggestions are the route I will take. You are probably right that they will take an interest in the fitting of the DRO system

Now all I need to do is source the best system to fit.

Any ideas?

Thanks all. I had not thought of the DRO route, will need to explore this option and at least as an interim option find out how to source and fit these.

Hi

I have 2 early teenage grandchildren who are showing an interest in engineering and in particular using my myford. I am a ft and inches person, and when I talk in imperial they look at me as if I am mad.

The question is- Is it possible to convert my Super 7 fitted with a gearbox to permanent metric measurements. If so what do I need in addition to the new dials. I hope I have explained this properly.

I already have a metric wheel thread cutting set for the gearbox.

Thanks

Tom

Thank you Neil

Found it - Made between 1968 and 1971.

Thanks again

Hi

I have a Super 7 fitted with a gearbox which I have owned for about 20 years+ (I have lost the invoice). I had a reason to to determine which model I have and looked for the serial no (on the front lh side of the bed) there is nothing stamped on the bed in that area.

I have looked all over the lathe and cannot find one anywhere. What pointers are available to tell me what version of the lathe I have.

Thanks in advance

Regards

Tom
