Re: Ebay thread dial indicator
|
I found a thread on practical machinist that seems to support the idea that one dial worked on a pretty wide range of lathes:? There are some folks in that thread who have made their own, although without any detail about how they got the gears...
I have *not* found a 3d model for the 13" threading dial though... The 9/10" version could be adapted, but that's a bit of CAD work.
$100 seems like a lot for a (mostly) plastic part, but given that it has bearings, and they've done the troubleshooting, it's probably not a bad deal.
There is a metal threading dial for a 16" lathe up on ebay for about the same price, maybe that would?actually work?

Whether it fits or not assumes the seller made it correctly. As far
as if the same part fits all of those listed machines, you could
probably verify that yourself by looking at parts catalogs to see if
the same part number is listed for each size lathe. It would make
sense that some SB lathes would use the same part. You see that a
lot in the 9's and 10's. Unfortunately, I do not have a direct
answer.
