Thanks, but I'm not editing the thread any more - I refuse to ask permission for my own post to be edited.

Hello everyone. I was surprised to see that there are not many permanent resources for this data, and none of the lathe manufacturers will have much desire to create it, so I have just created

Lathe headstock thread and toolpost diameter information - metal lathes and wood lathes lathe-toolpost.co.uk

as godaddy were having a domain sale, £1.03 for one year! I have made a start filling it out, if you spot any errors let me know. Feel free to make this a sticky link somewhere.

1.18" might confuse a novice - it could do with the / .

There is an old Child's list -

Nova head and tail are MT2

 

[David bonner]

What’s the use of having something that’s there and has no bearing what’s so ever and has no use at all not even a Dickie.!

 

[minilathe22]

thanks for all input, I have done most of the toolpost diameters I can find, now looking at the headstock threads and tapers.

What about my Arundel J4 Senior!

 

[David bonner]

Ok well done then GR8.!.

 

[minilathe22]

Jacob, do you know the toolpost size for your lathe? And tapers sizes? I can only find the headstock threads online.

Hi. My Wadkin RT (RTA 380 of 1951) uses a 1 3/8" BSW (6tpi) headstock thread. Headstock has an MT2 taper (blind, like the RS), and the tailstock is also MT2.

Don't forget to add Wadkin's RU to the list (no, I don't know any of the sizes for the RU).

Cheers, Vann.

 

[minilathe22]

Thanks, updated the Wadkin RT. I had heard the RU has 2" 4.5tpi, I dont know the tapers though.

Record Maxi 1 (1st model) is 1 1/4 x 8tpi MT2 both ends and 1" stem
Later models are M33 X 3.5 tpi I believe
