Bruce,

d'abord mes félicitations pour ce français plus que parfait! Vous êtes totalement bilingue si je comprends bien!

Merci pour ces pistes qui ont démontrées que mon raisonnement était un peu court en fait puisqu'un adaptateur 1"12W vers M33 (le filetage interne des 2 mandrins) suffira amplement (le troisième en 1"8W étant très proche de celui en 1"12W qui était avec le tour).

J'en ai trouvé un chez charnwood: https://www.charnwood.net/product-search-results/product/p1-x-12tpi-insert-for-viper-nexus-chucks-viperig/category_pathway-2

Une preuve supplémentaire de l'efficacité de ce forum!!

Pour le plateau de ponçage, j'en ai un avec le tour dont je ne me servirait peut-être pas, mais j'ai peur que le filetage soit abîmé car il ne mord pas sur la vis.

Merci encore

Bob

Bonjour Bruce, Bonjour everybody!

I just bought a ML8 and, as a French, I don't feel ease with imperial measurements!

I have 2 chucks from my former Record wood lathe wich gets a spindle of thread 1"-8W (if i'm good....)

Can you please tell me if the thread MC3B is the one of the spindle of the ML8?

Do you think I could find an adaptator MC3B F/1"-8W M to be able to use my Record chucks?

Merci d'avance for your help

Bob

Hi David,

Merci for this ressource!

I just buy the numbered J1079 M-Type lathe and I want to assess if it's adapted for a beginner like me.

I certainely come back to you as you seem to be a Master of this group.

Merci encore!

Bob

Bonjour

Does somebody get the manual for a Myford M-Type from the period 1920-1922?

Merci par avance

Bob

Bonjour,

First I would like to express my admiration for the technical erudition of all of you and the kindness of your welcome! Respect and chapeau bas!

Reading all your comments, I think that the best should be that I buy the gears and to make the test.

May I abuse of your patience?

MG gave me a link for the 121 pinion but i can't found the 122 on the QSANEY website.

Does someone know where to find the eccentric 122 pinion (imperial)?

Thx

Bob

Hi Roger,

Merci for les conseils!

You write about a "eccentric adjustment top and bottom" ...bottom is ok, but are you sure about a "top" one?

With the bottom one screwed in the uppest position, still skating....

It sems that the leadscrew is an imperial one: 8tpi

Michael, do you have another good adress for imperial spare parts? I don't see anyone on the Myford website.

Merci

Bob

Hi,

Merci to everybody for these answers! I started to become parano not to have any message back!

Ok for the 2 new gears but I need another info before I order them: how can I know if my gears/screw are metric or imperial? This lathe is coming from Lyon where Myford used to have a seller, but I don't know if they were delivered metric or imperial.

Is ther any index on the screw or in the gearbox ?

Merci encore

Bob

Hummm....you don't share any more secret knoledge....Brexit oblige.....tant pis!
