Hi Hopper I have a drawing for a denford viceroy half nuts which seems to suggest that a viceroy lathe lead screw

was 3/4" acme for both metric and Imperial lathes and just the pitch changed and as denford made both machines I was expecting it to be the same for the boxford but it seem not be the case. It would make the interchange between metric and imperial easy from a manufacturing point of view. The core depth would help determine the thread angle

Would this mean that they used a different worm in the saddle which the lead screw passes through on metric boxford lathes from the imperial lathe as i said in a reply to Rex that's put a cat amongst the pigeons
