Lathe Spindle Threads

[DJ’s Timber]

Just to let people know, I haven't forgotten about you all, just been a bit busy since I picked them up.

Was saying to Scooter this arvo when he picked his up that I reckon I've done about 1200-1500km of driving in the last 5 days so tomorrow will be a quiet one sorting them out and catching up on

Visited DJ this afternoon & collected my couple of chucks.

A couple of pics attached, showing wot we got and a size comparison with the SN2 chuck. Pic 2 is the SN2 and the Compac jaw-to-jaw.

Many thanks to Gil for making the chucks available packing & posting etc, and DJ for doing the yards this end. Thanks very much, fellas.


Cheers..................Sean

I hope the 1"x8 are OK?

he checking them wonder if the blokes that got there's are ok Scooter you got yours didn't you

[Waldo]

G'day,

Just checked my 1x10 after Dj rang me, and it seems to fit okay on my Tough lathe . Dj, you're still welcome to call by to verify either way.

[DJ’s Timber]

Settle down guys, still going through the list to work out what's what.

Please hold off posting till I have worked out everything.

[DJ’s Timber]

Ok have finish checking all the 1" x 10tpi and 1 x 8tpi and have found that all the 8tpi are fine so that is all good

Now for the 10 tpi, of the 9 received, 3 are in fact 8tpi according to my tpi gauge with a different thread pitch angle as far as I can make out. I have measured the internal Dia against a good 8tpi and they are the same so they are not undersized.

The option I am left with is to run my 1" x 8 tap through the defect ones to fix them to fit a 1" x 8tpi lathe, which then leaves me with the unpleasant duty of informing the last 3 people on the list to miss out on a chuck.

Now this is where it gets complicated. As far as I can tell after a bit a reading and checking times of posting.

As far as I can make out this is the order of claim,

DJ's Timber 2 or 3 I gave up 2 for wheelinround and Waldo
Wood Butcher 1
mugwoody 3 mugwoody gave up 1 for crazyscew
Wood Butcher's dad 1
chrisb691 1
crazyscew 1
wheelinround 1
Waldo 1

So according to that order crazyscew, wheelinround and Waldo will have to miss out.

Sorry guys.

DJ if there is room I would like a 1" x 8 tpi thanks and regards Wally

DJ, if you now find yourself with unclaimed 1"x8tpi, don't forget that wodwork wally wanted one.

That is a real bummer for those 3 members, you have my symphathy!o

[DJ’s Timber]

Ok, I have cleaned up the 3 defects chucks with my machine tap and they came up beautifully. I will be offering the first one to woodwork wally first (thanks BS).

The other 2 are up for grabs, they are to fit a 1" x 8tpi lathe spindle.

They will be $40 ea plus $9.30 for a 3kg satchel for postage, which will only take 1 due to the weight.
