Can some kind member of the forum tell me what is the diameter, TPI and thread form of the lead screw that is used on the Zyto lathes – I presume that the same size is used on all the various versions, I also read that the change gears are the same 20 DP as the Myford, can anyone confirm this please, also can anyone tell me the size of the headstock spindle thread?

Peter,

Have a look at the Zyto material on the Machine Tool archive at http://www.lathes.co.uk where you will find some answers

The change wheels will all be 20DP 14.5 degree pressure angle and in all probability Myford compatible, there were many Myford look alikes in those days.

Regards

Brian
