Does anyone own or know about the Tom Senior dividing head?

If so, can you please advise whether it's compatible with the chucks and Myford-type collets you would use on a Myford ML7 / Super 7 lathe

Thanks, Ian

Hi. I have been an avid reader of this forum for a few months now and find it very informative, often amusing and sometimes frustrating when it goes off thread, but always a good read.

I have just registered so that I can reply to this thread, as I own and use a Tom Senior Dividing Head.

Ian.

The spindle has a No.2 Morse taper so will accept Myford type collets, but you would have to make your own drawbar for them.

The nose is threaded 1 1/2 x 8 tpi Whitworth form which is the same as Boxford (not Myford).

Hope that helps,

Keith.

Ian Myford collets do not use a drawbar They use a nose piece on the spindle

Ian, Roy.

RDG Tools sell 2MT collets threaded 10mm for a drawbar.

I made a new spindle for mine so it accepts Burnerd Multisize collets.

I can hold up to 1" diameter in them.
