Myford lead screw I.D.

[Rkweld]

Could anyone help with the identification of a lead screw...

It's on a custom machine so cannot order by the machine type. It has myford on the packet.

What do I need to measure to make identification possible?

Thanks for any help in advance!

Pip on the end suggests tailstock screw and it's certainly worn in the right place for it.

Doesn't look like any tailstock screw I can find a pic of though.

Did Myford make vertical milling slides for their lathes?

Here you go it's a cross slide screw - a knackered one!

Brilliant, thankyou. Is it only going to be that one? By that I mean is there more than one size that would look the same?

There are several designs of cross slide for the ML7 and S7 lathe why not drop Myford (owned by RDG tools) a line I'm sure they would be happy to sell you the right one....
