Rebuilding a Warwick 3.5 x 18" (Also known as Grayson, Granville, Randa) Help Wanted

Comparing mine to the Myford, it seems like mine doesn't have the brass nut. It seems like the screw id threaded directly into the slide (the circled part of the picture)



I've found this part on the Myford site, do you like it would fit, if not I'm sure it could be adapted.

Does anyone have a chart for the gearing? Maybe that too is the same as a Myford, I'll google it.

Also, check the spindle - you look to be missing two oilers - run it short-term with a squirt of oil into the bores for the oilers but you need to think of a long term solution.

re Jib strip, mine has slots about 1mm deep aligning with the screws, i drilled and reamed an 1/8" hole and fit a silver steel dowel

Best way to fit a gib strip. Otherwise you get a "wedging" action between the end of the adjusting screw and the dimple it fits in which makes it a bit more difficult to adjust to that "silky with no slop" fit. The dowel stops sideways movement. At least it's an easy thing to do!
