Title: ML10 sadle travis handle thread
Post by: HS93 on July 21, 2012, 08:41:11 PM

HI I have a ML10 at the moment I am having problems with my hands and am finding the small handle that travises the sadle hard to use, it is a typical myford handle that is just threaded on my lathe is a late imperial lathe so does anybody know what thread it is so I can get an adapter made to fit a slightley biger round folding handle, any help would be appreatiated

Hi Peter ,  is the hand wheel difficult to get off ?

Just a thought , what about doing away with the handle and fitting a motor to drive the carriage  :zap:

Hi I have been  thinking of fitting a stepper to it for some time, I dont do screw cutting but it would not stop me if I wanted to anyway I have a dog clutch, I am about to get someone to move the lathe of it's risers and on to the bench so I can fit a glass scale, so I will look in to a simple belt drive like I did on the mill z way.

thanks again Rob, the gloves are great after one wear they expand and fit nice.
