Hi all, first post I am afraid. I am about to pick up a Boxford Model A with Metric Lead screw, that I have purchased.

I need to do a dismantling job to facilitate loading into my box trailer and need to take a selection of tools

My quick question is:

What fasteners did Boxford use on this machine for its build.

Metric – Unified Or Whitworth?

Hi Malc.

All the threads on my Boxford metric model A are BSW. I haven't found any BSF threads yet other than BA on the electrics but I've stripped all the old electrics out for new. So it's all BSW & BSF spammers for the dismantle.

Best of luck with your Boxford. I'm a keen advocate of Boxford lathes. Have you found the Boxford user group on Yahoo yet? It's worth a look.

Regards

John

Thanks John, that's perfect and very quick information. I have full compliment of Whit/ BSF tackle and even BA everything..

Not looked for a user group yet but that's also good and welcome info so will check it out.

Not had a Boxford yet but really looking forward to doing the refurb over the winter.

You will also need some imperial allen keys, when I split one I took off the head stock, gearbox, saddle and tail stock. The tricky one is the head stock as there are two clamping bolts that are tricky to get at, I made a short spanner to get to the one at the chuck end.
