Myford raising block thread size

[RobboParticipant @robbo]

There is no thread inside the levelling screw, the bolt passes through it.

The external thread on the levelling screw, and so for the hole in the block, for half the thickness of the block, is 9/16"BSF.

The lower half of the hole in the block is 5/16 BSF for the fixing bolt.

Great thanks for that

So to mount on a bench would i be better getting 5/16 BSF threaded rod as im not sure the standard studs would be long enough to go through a 30mm thick bench

[RobboParticipant @robbo]

The standard studs will no way go through 30 mm. The bottom thread is only just long enough to go through a standard Myford steel cabinet. Threaded rod is a quick way out and leaves you plenty of room to get it right.

And in my case wasn’t quite long enough for the cabinet and myford floor stand, 9/16 is almost M8 so I just ran an M8 tap through because I had M8 threaded bar in stock 😀

I think 5/16 is almost M8 (7.9)

[Allan BParticipant @allanb]

You are right, that’s my brain not working late at night 😕 I was just thinking of the pattern parts that I have just put onto mine, thinking about it I don’t think you would even get 9/16 through the base of the myford lol

A strange thread to put your question?

Go to and click on "classifieds" about 1/2 way across the black bar at top of home page.

Click on Wanteds

It will show you a list of current ads, but at top right click on "new ad" or whatever it says there
