Wally,
I have two dials from an EDM table that are for 5 TPI screw. I am
using the table for a CNC conversion so I may not need the dials.
I can give you the details on them next week if you want.
But, I also should mention that it is very easy to make your own
dials. I have made several sets for different machines. The simplest
way is to use autocad or whatever to print out a gage strip that is
the same circumference as your lathe chuck. You can get any number of
divisions. Use whatever tool setup you need to cut the groove. I.E.
use your lathe as a shaper.
Also, I think Vernier is a mis-nomer for these dials. They are just
"graduated" scales.
