15 forum posts 18 photos | Hi, Trying to find a supplier of Di3 Backplate for Myford 254s lathe, it has the stud fitting not camlock, the ones that I have looked at Warco etc seem to have a very shallow register. I want to fit a 4 jaw ind chuck, failing that maybe a 4 jaw with D13 fitting. any help would be appreciated. Regards Richard |

I use cap head bolts with a plain shank and thread it M10x1 to fit the backplate use a good die to cut the thread the bolts are tough. The register in the warco and a cast iron back plates I have used is correct. |
