2742 forum posts 39 photos | Hello everyone, I have a backplate for threaded nose fitting removed from a 5 inch Pratt 4 jaw chuck and no idea what it used to fit. The thread is 1 5/16 inch by 11 TPI Whitworth form. It seems an odd size that I can't match so can anyone identify it please? The nose register diameter is also 1 5/16 inch. Brian |

2742 forum posts 39 photos | Hello Jason, Thank you for that information, the sizes are too close to sort, so you may well be right..It has been machined tike a lathe backplate too and I never thought it was anything else when I fitted a Myford plate to the chuck in it's place. I can always bush it and remachine it for my use, but it might just suit someone as it is Regards Brian |
