Can anyone give me a little assistance here? I have a grizzly g5960 metal lathe 14x40 the lead screw pitch is 8TPI, I am missing the emblem off of the top of the thread dial and it is no longer available, I need to know what it looks like and what numbers are at what degrees. Thank You Tom IMG_20151106_140352675.jpg IMG_20151106_140401319.jpg
 
It is numbered 1 thru 8 clockwise and the markings are 45 degrees apart. (360/8=45)
 
Hey thanks Jim. The people on this forum and the people who run it are FANTASTIC ! an answer is always just a question away.:geek: Hey I should have been able to do the simple math just from looking at the chart on the dial itself. Thanks again

Whitworth on the label!? When was the last time you saw Whitworth shown on/in something? (Machinery Handbook doesn't count. :) )

That's what I did ;)

It's always my pleasure to help out:)

I wondered why they chose to label it Whitworth, or any other thread. Why not Acme?....would work for Wile E. Coyote.:big grin:
