Amazing video and great to watch.well done mate!!

I’ve just ordered a set of these to keep the slots clean.

I’ve just picked up an ml7 1960 for £900.I think I got a bargain based on prices of lathes I’d been watching.

Thanks for helping in this thread George

For information the 1 1/8 x12tpi Chuck fits perfect without a making a collar

for the register.

Thank you gents,I’ll make a sleeve.

thank you for your help it’s much appreciated.

Thanks gentlemen but being of limited knowledge this has gone over my head.

its not just a matter then of buying a 4 jaw Chuck with the correct 1 1/8 x 12tpi back plate and screwing it on?

George b and Howard

the diameter is 1 1/8 and over a 1/2” distance I have counted 6 crests so am I right in thinking

that my spindle thread is the 1 1/8” x 12tpi?

George B and Howard,,

thank you gentlemen for your expertise it’s very much appreciated!

I shall look into this and hopefully get the information I need using your methods.

thank you

ill update this thread as soon as I’ve done the measurements.

So the next question is how do I measure it?

Thanks George but how do I find out the year of mine?

id read 1 1/8 x12tpi but unsure.

That links takes me to YouTube and a ship video?

Hi

I need a new 4 jaw Chuck for my myford ML4

but I have no idea what size or thread it is.

can anyone advise please?

thanks

I’m based in Doncaster and no no clubs.

Thanks Howard

I’m more of a tinkering hobbyist using mainly brass,copper and aluminium .

I shall be trying mild steel though on my new lathe!

I know I won’t need them Ian and don’t plan on selling the lathe.

I wouldn’t have a clue what they are worth...send me a message?

Thanks Brian much appreciated.they are on eBay with a starting bud of £20 as value I have no idea!
