I have been searching the UK sites for an adaptor for my myford metal lathe which is 1 1/8 x 12 tpi so that my grandson can use my spindle threaded M33 x 3.5mm (T38)chucks on it.

I'm sure that the myford ML8 wood lathe was the same thread as the ML7 but either I'm thick (no comments please) ? but I can only find the Teknatool US Web site showing them available.

I have an Axminster small variable lathe which he uses from time to time, but ( there always is one with grandchildren) he wants to use the Myford as he wants to turn ali/copper/brass pen and has tried the small Axi but he is loosing confidence with it.

I was going to turn one on the myford but the dies for the M33 are a little pricey, but if that's the only way then that's what will have to happen. .:nonono:

Any ideas greatfully received..:pray:

why do I have the feeling that someone is going to make look stupid.

[QUOTE="silver, post: 164828, member: 165"] I have been searching the UK sites for an adaptor for my myford metal lathe which is 1 1/8 x 12 tpi so that my grandson can use my spindle threaded M33 x 3.5mm (T38)chucks on it. I'm sure that the myford ML8 wood lathe was the same thread as the ML7 but either I'm thick (no comments please) ? but I can only find the Teknatool US Web site showing them available. I have an Axminster small variable lathe which he uses from time to time, but ( there always is one with grandchildren) he wants to use the Myford as he wants to turn ali/copper/brass pen and has tried the small Axi but he is loosing confidence with it. I was going to turn one on the myford but the dies for the M33 are a little pricey, but if that's the only way then that's what will have to happen. .:nonono: Any ideas greatfully received..:pray: why do I have the feeling that someone is going to make look stupid. :rolling::thinks: [/QUOTE]
