MYFORD 254 RACK

[ray jones 1Participant @rayjones1]

Hi I am working on a project and need a rack and pinion.

I have discovered that the bed rack on my Myford 254 appears to be 6 TPI and only a small cross section of approximately 0.3 inches wide and 0. 625 inches deep.

This would be an ideal size for my project.

Enclosed is a photo of a similar rack off a Myford super 7.

Can anyone suggest a supplier for one of these racks please, or indeed one off a Myford 254, or anyone breaking a 254.

Thank you

Plenty on Ebay UK. Mostly ML7 or S7 as the 254 is a relatively rare beast. But they are a 20DP rack which is just a tad over 6tpi.Maybe some difference in length though. You should be able to ask the sellers for details such as that.

I've never seen anyone break a 254.

I found this Mod. 4 rack in my own searches. It's another deep section one – difficult to find and useful for machine tools. I'm posting it here in case it's of use: **LINK**
