Myford metric conversion quadrant question.

Jul 15, 2006 6 Replies

I have an S7 and would like to cut metric threads on occasion. I also have access to a far better shop than my own in which I can cut a few gears and do a bit of CNC work as training.



What I would like to know is if someone out there has a conversion kit, could they do the favor of putting a ruler and protractor to it to check a few dimensions?



Looking for:


-length of the main slot, and edge to edge distance from the slot to the



1 3/8" hole.


- angles of the arc in relation to the slot. As far as I can tell the arc starts at about 30 degrees from the slot, and ends at either 50 or



55 degrees.

Of course, if anyone were to have a dimensioned drawing at hand that they could email me or post to a website, I'd be very grateful too!

I appreciate that. My address is t dot o dot jones at telus dot net, which is to say that my "reply to" address is valid.

Thanks!

Trevor,

You do realise your posting on this newsgroup with an unprotected (from spam) email address? So doing such things as t dot o dot isn't really worth it.... :-)

Unfortunately he is right. Most SPAMBOTS harvest the "from" addresses and ignore the "reply to". Sadly, the header of Trevor's posting has only a "from" address and no "reply to". Perhaps that's yet another reason why accessing news from Google may not be the best thing to do.

Yes I do. Surprisingly enough, the levels of spam have never gotten out of hand with my old account, over a 5 year period that I had been posting to usenet newsgroups with it. With this account, the email addresses are pretty much disposable, and are not the same as my base account. I have also found that a few simple filters can help a lot in that respect as well.

Thanks for the pictures, Richard and Keith both! I am well equipped to begin flogging my way through the geometry creation process and move slowly towards a few more toys in the shop. I appreciate the time you guys took for me.

Cheers Trevor Jones
