Screwcutting and surfacing charts for Metric Viceroy
Does anyone have Charts 151 and 155 which give change wheel info for screwcutting and surfacing. I would be obliged to have sight of them.

Screwcutting and surfacing charts for Metric Viceroy
As you correctly guessed not really what I want. I actually require the original Charts 151 and 155 which I assume will show the change wheels required for different screwcutting and surfacing pitches. Thanks for your very prompt help on return to work and a very happy New Year to you and all on the Forum.

Those drawings are the Charts 151 and 155 - have you any other info to go from ?
Are these other posts helpful... ?

Screwcutting and surfacing charts for Metric Viceroy
I am sure that they will be when I can get around to absorbing it all. I was obviously incorrect in assuming that the "Chart" number referred to a "Chart"! Once I get the machine back together I will assess the basic ratios to the surfacing feed and with all the info supplied make up my own chart based on my current gearset.Denford Admin wrote:Those drawings are the Charts 151 and 155 - have you any other info to go from ?

Charts!
The CH series drawing/part numbers were used for all plates & labels - for spindle speeds, nameplates, 'wear eye protection', threads & feeds, etc.
I'm guessing you have these 2 plates for your lathe but you are missing the threadcutting plates.
Is yours a gearbox machine or does it use changewheels only?
If it is a gearbox machine, then the feeds should be the same as on my 280VS, and I could mail you a photo of my plate.
I haven't yet got back to converting the original 5" lathe parts lists to electronic form (all the 5.5" machines are done), so I don't have a way of checking the actual chart numbers for your machine - it pre-dates the drawing registers shown here which starts at CH167 - viewtopic.php?t=906&start=15

Changewheels only, it is probably nearly as old as me

Kind of you but based on the above.....

I have seen it but it is based on gearbox IIRC
I am a little way off from getting the Lathe back together, but new 3ph motor arrived today to go with a VFD I had on the shelf. Now 1HP 3ph instead of 0.5HP single phase. Thanks for your attention to my queries, I am sure I will get there in the end. I am most surprised and pleased with the response I am getting.

I'm not sure the changewheel lathes ever had a thread/feed plate actually on the machine - it may have been only in the manual.
I believe that the arrangement and gears would be very similar to a Boxford, which has the following gears as standard (info from www.lathes.co.uk) - *16, 24, 28, 30, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, *80, *72/18 compound, *54/18 compound, *80 idler (with boss)
(* gears on machine as dispatched from factory for standard feeds).
Does your set match this?
In case you don't know, Boxford and Denford changewheels are not interchangeable as the DP is different.
Producing a thread chart will be easy, but I don't know how we can determine the feed drive ratio until you have the machine re-built - then a quick check with a clock gauge will determine that factor and teh rest of the calcs will be easy.

Which I do not have. All I have seen are the ones with a gearbox.

Not quite! My set below
16 x 2, 20, 28 x 2, 32 x 4, 40, 44 x 2, 48, 66+18, 72+18 x 2, 80 x 2,
100 x 2
In case you don't know, Boxford and Denford changewheels are not interchangeable as the DP is different.
I did not know, thanks for that.

That is what I intend to do, will report back. Thanks again.
