CHANGE GEARS FOR MYFORD LATHES (40T - 127T)
That´s from http://www.rdgtools.co.uk/acatalog/MYFORD_LATHE_USERS_NEW1.html
costs £15.95 inc VAT
I don´t think it will fit inside the gear guard, but leave the door open!
I don´t have one, my Super 7 has a gear box, so no picture, sorry.

its not the same dp its much smaller( the teeth that is ) so the gear is only about as big as the largest one supplied, you need to get/buy a pair the 127 and its mate, as I have the norton gear box fitted I just use the myford metric conversion banjo set up

Stuart,

I think you will find the ones supplied by RDG are of the correct DP, and so the correct size, at least the few I have bought are.

Troll,

If they are not available, maybe you should contact our own John Stevenson, he specialises in oddball things, especially dividing plates with lots of holes in them. I'm sure he could easily give you a quote.

thank you
only I want to know if someone has mounted, it is very big 6.45"

You might consider getting the gear pair 47/37. Its ratio is extremely close to the required 1.27:1.

As you will ascertain from my old english place name I live only a stones throw from Myford when I was there last they had on their rack the smaller dp ones very fine teeth

they were made of steel not the normal cast ones

Sorry Stuart, it came across to me as though you were talking about the RDG ones.

What you are talking about is a 'normal' sort of fix for lathes that can't fit everything under the cover, but as you said, you need the matching pitch gear as well.

I think I saw in an early MEW about how to do it on your own lathe.

Martin Cleeve gives a lot of info on this in his book (Screwcutting in the Lathe) - well worth getting hold of a copy.
