Thread: Screw cutting on a Stringer EW lathe
17/07/2023 08:38:20

Nigel,

Thanks very much for this useful information. It sounds like I should buy myself a book on lathe work. I did some lathe training 47 years ago but I need a refresher. Meanwhile I will now start experimenting.

Regards

Eddie

Thor,

Thanks for highlighting the thread. I read the posts for about three years , from 2011 to 2013. There is lots of info on installing clutches on the lead screw and on possible use of a stepping motor. I c9uld not see anything about the basic arrangement of setting up gears for screw cutting though. I understand that some EWs had a diagram on the inside of the gear cover. But m8ne does not.

Doiogenesll,

The pitch of the lead screw is 1/8 ", in other words 8tpi.

Hello all. I have just joined your group. Yesterday I bought a Stringer EW at an autojumble. It appears to be in good condition and came with a motor and most parts, including a set of gears for screw cutting. I have searched the internet for advice on how to set the gears for screw cutting and posts on the Model Engineer website keep coming up but so far I have not found one that helps me set the gears. I an fairly sure that someone has written a piece on this but I cannot find a thread on it. Could someone point me in the right direction please?
