BOXFORD IMPERIAL DIAL

<< < (7/8) > >>

Manxmodder:
Griff, if imperial then they're most definitely Acme thread form, most likely 10 tpi single start(100 thou per rev).

The metric screws will be Trapezoidal (TR) thread form.

GRIFFIN:
Thanks for that Oz,

That's one less bit of homework to do, I'll get a thread gauge for the dimensions and either buy or grind a tool and have a bit of practice on some scrap.

Cheers, Griff.

Manxmodder:
Griff, these inserts and tools are what I use for Acme threads,and a good number of other forms.

Tools to hold inserts.

 16 ER insert and suitably sized tool shank to fit your toolpost,I generally use as big a tool shank as my tool post/centre height will allow. On the Harrison that is 25mm square.
