--- Quote from: John Stevenson on January 31, 2016, 08:08:53 PM ---You do if you have the Myford fitted with a gearbox. Normally to cut metric threads on the gearbox model you have to but a full metric kit which is about 11 gears and new banjo and then swap it all over. Cut your thread and swap it all back. However if you swap the 24T driver gear for either a 33 or 34 and select a thread on the box from a chart you can cut all the popular metric threads with a very slight error, not enough to make any difference unless you are working for NASA. In fact the genuine Myford conversion set also work to an error as they use a 63 T gear as a translation gear and only a 127 will give accurate results with no error --- End quote --- How much and where to please..

Really nice John - good setup! Just purely out of interest and I`m not going to pretend to understand the electronic/computer setup, could this only be achieved with LinuxCNC or could you use Mach3? By the way, hell of a lot of gears for one myford ;-) Nice one. |
