Re: delta rockwell 11" metal lathe
I have a Rockwell Industrial tools catalogue from 1978. The metric transposing kit is #25-630. It looks much different from mine. I see what Russ is saying, for he is one of the few here, who know abouts these lathes. The cast cover was wider and detached by thumb screws. The gears were larger and the quadrant was larger for precise reduction, using American standard gears.
This gets back to 8 TPI lead screws and 8 TPI threaded noses of Asian lathes. This was a combination of metric and imperial. When going back to metric, it was very few gears because they were all metric module anyway. Even then, it was no splitting the thread dial for anything except the # you started . Tell me I'm wrong.
