Thank Jo - about 10 years after I stopped taking magazines in general - have to try and winkle out some back numbers.

Gray has done a very nice design for a retracting tool holder as well.

Must dig his book out and take a better read. bought it at a time I was too busy.
I have one of Gray's clutches fitted to a C3, what a machine, doing some 19tpi tapered gas thread fittings in brass the other week 900 revs up to a shoulder and never had to change the old boxers once.

Like many of an older generation, I gave up taking Model Engineer, Model Engineers Workshop and Engineering in Miniature for many reasons - one of which was lack of originality.There were others but enough!
Obviously, it prompts me to buy the book( for my Myford S7B) however one point comes up and that is- are the book drawings imperial as All my cutters are such.?

Thank you

Norman

I do not know if you have been following the Model Engineer Screwcutting simplified thread recently, however the ML7 version of the clutch is now finished.

I regret to say the drawing units in the book are in Metric, but as the Screwcutting Clutch has to mate up with an Imperial machine many of the metric dimensions are merely conversions of an Imperial measurement. Where a 10 mm reamed hole is specified this can quite easily be 3/8" reamed and so on. Nothing in my designs is carved in stone, and I welcome individuals putting their own stamp on my original design, I have never thought my designs to be the last word.

 Hi Gray, and welcome to the forum. I have been following the screwcutting simplified thread, and feel that your ideas (and execution) are superb. Like Arnold and Tel, I'd be very interested in the ML7 version. Is it available in a book?
Cheers, Hugh

Any chance of posting an introduction. Our members are international so they may not be aware of your good work on other forums  :ThumbsUp:.

Hello Jo,

At your request I have posted an introduction to myself, I do hope I have not overdone it?

As regards my work on other forums I only regularly write on the Model Engineer site, my work does appear on other sites like the modelengineering website and Ron Chernick's Model Engine News, but that's about all. I do regularly write for Engineering in Miniature and they graciously thought my work warranted a book.

Thanks to all for the warm welcome

Gray,
