3 forum posts | Does anyone own or know about the Tom Senior dividing head? If so, can you please advise whether it's compatible with the chucks and Myford-type collets you would use on a Myford ML7 / Super 7 lathe Thanks, Ian |

88 forum posts 2 photos | Hi. I have been an avid reader of this forum for a few months now and find it very informative, often amusing and sometimes frustrating when it goes off thread, but always a good read. I have just registered so that I can reply to this thread, as I own and use a Tom Senior Dividing Head. Ian. The spindle has a No.2 Morse taper so will accept Myford type collets, but you would have to make your own drawbar for them. The nose is threaded 1 1/2 x 8 tpi Whitworth form which is the same as Boxford (not Myford). Hope that helps, Keith. |
