Unknown lathe

How do I determine if my lead screw is metric or imperial?

I would measure out an inch and count the threads. Then get the diameter of the screw and see what you have. If it does not compute in imperial then it is most likely metric.

Soooo, a guy on FB said it looks like an early Cazeneuve and I think he is right. I have emailed the company in France. Fingers crossed.

Cazeneuve confirmed that it is theirs. Made before 1940 and no parts available. This is going to suck. Haha

Practice gear cutting.......

It is a lathe, and lathes can make their own parts. This should be fun.

Making some progress. Finally got the skirt cleaned up, painted and reassembled.
