Boxford and South Bend 100/127t inch to metric conversion gear

Boxford, South Bend & Smart & Brown 100/127t inch-to-metric screwcutting transposing gear. This gear set will convert all imperial (inch) belt-drive Boxford lathes (except the late VSL Type), the South Bend 9-inch and the Smart & Brown Sabel, SAB and S lathes to cut metric pitches. Presently, this gear is only available as two separate gears that need pinning, together - a simple process.

Kerry Super 8 & Drillmaster V-belt

Kerry "Super 8" & "Drillmaster" drive belt. UK or EU-made high-quality, machine-tool grade belt with an invisible joint that, unlike the cheap imports, does not bump as it goes around the pulleys and so ensures the smoothest possible drive. This is the correct fitting for both the Mk1 and Mk.2 Kerry Super 8 models and all versions of the "Drillmaster". Details of Kerry drills here

 

Reversing & on-off Switch

A proper, European-made, high-quality, machine-tool class on-off and reversing switch (it can also be used as a simple on/off switch) with a maximum capacity is 5 hp. It will run either a 1-phase or 3-phase motor and is fitted in a neat box-type 64mm x 64mm x 57mm deep plastic enclosure easily attached to a suitable bracket or flat surface. Inside the housing the switch unit itself is cylindrical, very compact, and can be removed for insertion in another holder should this be necessary.

Myford ML8 Drive Belt

For the Myford ML8 lathe the new, improved metal-pin T-link belting is ideal. It's a sectional belt so no dismantling is needed to fit it. For lathes on the maker's stand 1.2 metres is the length needed. If mounted on a home-made bench with a thick wooden top, 1.3 metres is usually sufficient. The width required is 1/2" (13 mm) = an "A" section.
