Thread: Granville lathe gib-strip adjustment grub screw sizes

Thanks one and all, most grateful. Tempted by the 5mm conversion but Graham's thoughtful advice is just what I hoped for.

What a forum, cheers.

Hallo Thor,

I'd researched that site fairly extensively but not posed that specific question imaging that Tony would be overwhelmed on a daily basis. Will do so if that's the recommended approach.

Thanks, David

Colleagues,

With some trepidation I make my first post, and from metric New Zealand at that.

I recently purchased a Granville CSL2 lathe which I believe can be correctly described being of the Grayson family with many Myford kin. I'm a complete novice with engineering lathes but I'm embarking on a little 'tidying up' before venturing forth.

I'd like to replace the heavily worn slotted gib-strip adjustment grub screws and with a hex type hopefully. I noted lengthy discussion in this forum under https://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=99448&p=2 circa 2014 in relation to the grub screws for that lathe. I sensed that the consensus was the grub screws for that unit were most likely 2BA vs 3/16" BSF.

I think its a longshot but to assist my purchase, most likely out of the UK, might anyone know the specs for the Granville/Grayson? If it helps in anyway I've gauged it as best I can and it appears to be close to 3/16" 30tpi.

Cheers David
