Machining a Resettable Dial for a Myford Leadscrew Handwheel

The standard Myford dial on the leadscrew handwheel is not resettable. In this video, we machine a resettable dial for a Myford lathe. We do this on the Myford lathe itself, a Dore Westbury milling machine and a Gravograph engraver.

Thank you very much! The reduced gap on 3.16 is to match the imperial to metric conversion, right?

Just got a 1972 ML7 and in the process of cleaning it up. Not ready for a project like this yet, but this is absolutely wonderful work! Great video.

As a non-engineer, I find videos like this awe inspiring.

Hi we are RDG TOOLS a Model Engineering tool company based in Mytholmroyd West Yorkshire. We sell new and used tools. We also own the Myford Lathes Brand. We took over Myford around 12 years ago. Both company's are in the same building and we are open to the public. We are still building new Myford lathes and refurbished Myford lathes.

What a pity you haven't gone into limited scale production, a very useful addition to an imperial myford.

Thanks for watching Andrew - it's something we would consider if there's enough interest.

Excellent video. I need to machine a new graduated cylinder for my Archdale miller, and I now have a much better idea how to go about it. Just need to find a pantograph engraver...

@janneaaltonen7366 Жыл бұрын

Excellent project, but I would do a full metric conversion since metric leadscrews and gearboxes are also availeble for many myford models for very reasonable prices

@DPCSchannel 7 ай бұрын

What your saying is rite. The hack for this is....... buy a digital set of calipers. It reads both imp and metric

Nice work. I admire you for trepanning 316 stainless steel, that would be tough. I do not have a lead screw handwheell on my ML7 but would like one.I don't think many people would have access to a pantograph engraver.

@chronovaengineering Жыл бұрын

Thank you Andy. 316 certainly wouldn't have been our first choice but it's all we had on hand that was the right size! For those who don't have a pantograph engraver, stamping will do the job, it just won't look as pretty.

Beautiful project. Would you be so kind as to indicate where the tool you used for turning can be purchased?

Hello all at Chronova Engineering. Excellent video on the metric resettable hand wheel. Very well done Sir! I too have a Super7 awaiting full restoration (can't wait!) but I was interested in your pentagraphic engraving machine and wondered if you could present a video on that. Greetings from Southport.

@chronovaengineering Жыл бұрын

Thanks Kevin. We will aim to put together a video on the engraver in the future. It's a very useful tool for the manual machine shop.
