wadkin rs spindle thread

[wallace]

Hi all, I have an RS that I'd like to use my patriot chuck on. I need an insert but dont know the thread size. Does anyone know what it might be. I have the original literature on pdf but it does not mention the size.
thanks

Hi Wallace

Blister is right, its a 1 3/8" x 6tpi thread, not a standard these days!!

I've just got an RS8 and bought an Axminster Super Precision Chuck, Axi wouldn't cut the thread for me but would supply a blank backplate. I took the faceplate along with the chuck to a local engineer and they produced a sample spindle thread to fit it, then used that to set up the machine to cut the chuck thread.

Not cheap, it cost me £60, but I don't see another way?

Cheers

Richard

Hi Ian

I have a RS lathe which has a 1 3/8" thread at 6 TPI.
I am about to purchase a Rutland 4" Xact Precision Chuck which has a 1 inch 8TPI thread.
I live in Newbury, Berkshire.
it would be great if you can make me a adaptor, could you give me an idea of the cost.

my home number is 016350202469 and Mobile 07901794228
Thank you

David

Hi Ian
Just read your 2020 posts on 1 3/8” x 6tpi adaptors. I’ve been in touch with Sorby and they no longer produce the adaptor for Patriot as you probably know…? Don’t suppose you are able to supply one for Patriot. Not sure at time of writing what the Pat thread would be as standard but 38mm x 3mm rings s as bell. It Is in fact! My lathe’s a Wadkin BZL. I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent typing 1 3/8” x 6 into Google! Thanks. Graham

Thanks for that. I was wondering if it was possible to rethread a chuck but I guess it’s not. I’ll give it some more thought
Thanks

Hi Ian. Saw your ukworkshop thread. I've got a wadkin rs lathe in need of a 1 3/8" x 6tpi to 33 x 3.5mm spindle adapter. I'm in Cambridge. Be most grateful if you could mill me said adapter. Let me know cost and your online bank details. Much appreciated. Thanks. Corin
