I am not surprised that you got surprised, there have been several red herrings
raised
in the replies.

The vertical slides came with the fixed "Mazak" (sh*it metal) dials which are
essentially
a 1/4 BSF nut with
a dial integral with it. This has been replaced by a steel equivalent, but more
importantly a Re-Settable Micrometer
Dial Myford N0. 20/252 is now offered as a slightly more expensive alternative.
The Myford
WEB site quotes:
Steel Dial GBPDs 15.09 and Resettable Dial GBPDs 22.88.

These dials were also use on the ML7 & ML7 cross/top slides, I have fitted one
to my
vertical slide - it is 2 minute
job!

Brian ,
Thanks for clarifying the info .
It's the "mazak" dial that I have on my slide .
I did check the Myford website but failed to find the correct part .
I will definetly replace it with the resettable job.

Kevin, as you're in my part of the world, try Minitech for Myford stuff locally
- they are the Australian agents.

I've purchased quite a bit of stuff from them over the years for my ML7T.

Ye gods! 15 squid for a slice of steel bar threaded 1/4 BSF and marked
with a few graduations?? That is outrageous!
