Myford Ml7 Technical Drawings

[JasonBModerator @jasonb]

Just set your CAD to duel dimensions and if they are not happy with that they can do one their own

Though even then you will get the debate between fractions or decimals of inches and the sub pedantry of how many decimal places😈

Mixed dimensioning might be the way to go as the current Myford site lists cross slide screws as 3/8” x 2mm pitch!

Surely that’s for te metric version?

… and surely that demonstrates the point !

The 3/8” is a native description of the spec. and is being used appropriately.

Hi I have over time drawn many parts for the M Type Drummond / Myford lathe and if I was to put them on offer to download them to here would it over load the web site and would anyone be interested in them. I have downloaded most of them on to the  https://groups.io/g/drummondlathe web site so they are available there.

Typical Myford cost saving when making feedscrew for their metric models.

Uses the same barstock and feeders as their 3/8 x 10tpi imperial screws. Just change the rollers on the thread rolling machine and carry on. And use the same collets to grip the screw while machining the spigot and thread for the handle.
