i had the drill in a stand lying on its side and clamped to the bench, because the screw was held with bearings it was running true ... there was no whip in the screw

hi tribbles
been looking on the net and find rack classed as mod 1
mod 2.5 etc etc all with different pitches , where do i measure from
the crown to crown of the tooth, because pitch line was talked about
that was a line about halfway up the tooth

I would've thought that as long as you measure from the same point in the rack, then that's okay.
When I was looking at racks, I looked at the mod sizes, and then looked for rack that was equivalent to that size.
What's the size you have?

pitch from crown to crown 11mm , width at top of tooth 12mm, what is mod 1, mod 2.5 refering to

I'm not exactly sure what the mod setting is, but I think it's the ratio of the number of teeth to the diameter of the wheel.
I know that generally mod 1.0 means for a 60mm wheel, you get 60 teeth; for a 120mm wheel, it's 120 teeth.
So, mod 1.0 would have 3.14mm pitch (circumference = pi*dia, dia = 60, so 188.49 circumference. Divide by 60 gives pi).
If it's 11mm, then it's probably 10.995, or mod 3.5 (3.5*pi = 10.995).

hi tribbles
i am looking at this page http://www.ondrives.com/commercial-g...ype-steel.html looking down the mod column it relates to the width of the rack, the pitch line is down from the top of the tooth so measured down there i could have mod 1.5 .... i think .... maybe .....well i am getting confused with this
