Collets for a Myford MG12 cylindrical grinder?

Nick, I have nothing in my Crawford catalogue.You might gain some info on this thread about a MG12.

I have a book on an MG12, I'll look tomorrow to see if it sheds any light.

Thanks, I found that thread before. But no match. Not a 3C, not a 4C, not a

3B. And the tailstock has a MT2, not something special as some claimed in that thread. Must be a big mystery that Myford. :-)

I also don't have such an collet adapter on the workhead. But maybe that would be a solution if I don't find something else.

Thanks, Nick

I do have the manual. But some very fancy! Some ... idiot translated it to German and I think left out some things. Disregarding the funny expressions he used somewhere. Only the original photos and drawings are included. Also, one wheel dresser I own is missing. It has a swiveling head and an arm that carries the diamond that can be fed in and out. Nice thing for dressing to any angle. Tricky to disassemble. I even ruined a ball bearing along that way. :-) And the radius dresser I have is also missing in that manual.

Looked at lathes.co.uk, but he doesn't have Myford grinders.

Nick It may be no help but my MG12 collets are all marked G7006 sometimes with a P after that. Additionally some also bear an "H".

googled G7006P. It brings up a pdf of the Myford price-list. Text say 4C.

Nope! Not a 3AT, 3C, 3J, 4C, 5C, R8

Must be something Myford-specific (as mentioned in a thread at practicalmachinist). Seems I have to bite the regrinding or whatever to get a new center and the collets. :-(

Thanks, Nick

Seems it's best when I come back after I have disassembled the complete workhead. Needs some TLC and a paintjob anyhow.

The only thing puzzling me is the fact, that the centre in the workhead seems to be to no standard. Hope to sort that out with the parts disassembled and the drawings that came with. Also the 3 jaw chuck has an adapter that directly fits.

Anybody has a swiveling work-head that he doesn't need? :-))

Nick

Correct.
