Hello

I have been down this path with my imperial version. Denford don't seem to have any records on manufacture dates and serial numbers.

No orginal parts are available from Denford. A boring table would be a very rare find.

I am slowly planning to do a CNC conversion so I can cut any thread.

You can cut imperial threads with a metric lathe but you can't use the thread dial (if you have one). You must reverse the lathe and keep the half-nuts closed. If you have a 127 or 63 tooth gearwheel in your changegear set this is what you use for the metric-imperial conversion.

dazz are you going to put some plans together for the CNC conversion ?????

Hello

I wouldn't recommend waiting for me to produce plans. It's going to take me a long time to do this conversion. Work gets in the way.
