89 forum posts 35 photos | Hello, I have been asked by a friend if I could cut a thread on my Myford Super 7. The diameter is 24.7 x 1.693 pitch. This job is for a nut for a collet on a Schaublin lathe. If this is not possible, I would appreciate any information on how to go about this task. My Super 7 is imperial but I do have a full set of metric gears. Regards Tom

![]() 2376 forum posts 800 photos | Tom, 1.693mm pitch looks to be 15 tpi. Not a thread much used and not in the Myford thread tables but we should be able to find a combination of gears to get you close enough. HTH, Rod |

It seems to confirm my suspicion that the thread is actually 15 tpi ... see post #7 MichaelG. . P.S. ... I presume you are aware that it's a buttress thread-form Edited By Michael Gilligan on 04/01/2017 22:49:01 |

707 forum posts 1 photos | Rod, Michael, I did the check as well (having just finished watching the news) and got to 15 tpi as well (25.4/15=1.6933) which makes sense from a design point of view - we do like round numbers! Mark |

Which works out to 15 tpi or 1.69 mm Edited By John Stevenson on 04/01/2017 23:40:42 |

![]() 2376 forum posts 800 photos | If you don't have a Norton box, there are loads of options. A couple of likely looking ones: Drivers 20 21 60 Driven 30 35 45 or Drivers 20 40 63 Driven 35 45 60 Rod |

We don't need no skeenking compounds.
Rod, You realise we have beaten all the armchair warriors working to microns ?
