| Roll pin in lead screw |
| (1/1) |
| Baldrocker:
Hi all Hope this ? is in the right place. Considering putting an variable speed electric drive on the leadscrew of my Myford ML7. Have all the parts etc . I envisage fastening the pulley to the leadscrew using a roll pin. Only potential stumbling block is this, would drilling through the ls seriously weaken it? Thanks guys BR PS The pin would be about 1/8". |

The lead screw in my new lathe has a roll pin in it where it connects to the shaft coming from the change gears. This is factory. There is also a shear pin within an inch of the roll pin, so thats 2 holes. Just my 2 cents. Ron |

Ron Thanks mate, belt and braces, I'll go for a brass shear pin as well. BR |
