Help!
Our Club has two lathes on loan. Both look as if they could have originated from the Asian workshop BUT!!! we have a number of fittings (chucks, etc.) for one but they do not fit the thread of the second. No such luxuries as No.2. or No.1. M.T. Everything has to screw on to the drive shaft.
The first lathe is a ROVAL WLE000 and that is the one we have the fittings for.
The second is a CRAFTMASTER CWL-1000S.
Can anyone tell me the size of the thread for either lathe.

Hatley measure outside diameter of thread ,then measure length and count no. of teeth per inch this the TPI the amounts should give you the theard size sizes common to lathes are
3/4" 16 TPI
1" 8 TPI
1" 10 TPI
30mm diameter
Hope this may be of some helpto you

Hi Hartely.

Most times when I need to know something like that I go to an engineering place like Thomas Warburton and they bring out their thread gauges and tell me in no time flat what I've got.

Good luck

regards

Gino

Bumping this to the top... I've got exactly the same issue, with exactly the same lathe!

Hartley (if you're still around!) did you ever find a solution to this?

I'm not sure I trust my eyes enough to use the measuring method described below...

Hartley's last activity was in Dec 2006 FWIW.

No such thing as M18.33; M18x1.5 could be close, but more likely 3/4-16UNF.
