Hi all, Christmas has arrived early, i ordered a DRO kit for the Myford S7 and it arrived today, i only rang on Monday afternoon :bugeye:
Any way the point is this...i only have metric nuts bolts screws, taps drills and stuff so...the Myford has a row of tapped holes in the rear of the bed can some body please tell me what size/thread they are..

 Many thanks.. PS: i have not yet had the guts to try and cut a thread...i will one day.

1/4  BSF or 5/16 BSF

the back ones are 1/4 BSF
the more modern ones use metric to bolt down the headstock



as a rule all the fixings are BSF and the oil nipples are 2 BA  as are some of the smaller screws on the compound
