1 1/4" x 8 TPI Nuts

[Maylon Harvey]

Does any body have a source for 1 1/4 " x 8 TPI nuts?

[Jim Underwood]

Yep.

I just go down to the local True Value hardware store. I did buy a box of 3/4x16 from MSC though.

***:oOops. Sorry, I thought you asked about 1x8 nuts. Nope. I don't know where you could get those. You might look at MSC or Grainger though.

[John Strait]

I haven't been able to find any locally, but did find them on Grainger (dot) com on page 2705. I am sure there are a lot of other sources out there.

I would try Fastenal; they have a website and quite a few stores. Most of the stores are in the commercial area of towns but still have walk in areas.

I got mine at an industrial fasteners place locally/ Be sure and specify a #7 after this size, as the #8 after this size is for oilfield use and will tighten up before you get it completely on.Is this for your lathe spindle for making vacuum chucks of different dimensions? If you have any more problems, pm me and I will mail you some. Max

Max,
Do you mean that he needs 1 1/4-7 nuts instead of 1 1/4-8 for a 1 1/4-8 headstock thread? IF so I am sure glad I haven't purchased mine yet.

I get mine from Grainger. No problems.

yeah bought some from fastenal the other day . even had them in stock . ps they aint cheap. about 5 bucks each I think.

[Maylon Harvey]

Thanks guys for all the replies. I found them at MSC for $2.93 each on page 1912 of this years catalog.

Jim - Thanks for mentioning MSC. I never think of them and I have their catalog right here under the desk and yes they have them.

Trevor - I also found them on line at Master Carr. Thanks

Harvey - Thanks for the offer but I found them. Yes they are for making face plates for vacuum chucks etc. of different sizes for the new 3520. My old lathe was a 1 inch spindle so I have to make all new ones.

[Jim Underwood]

Glad you found 'em.
I was going to say that MSC, Grainger, or McMaster Carr would be more cost effective than another vendor someone mentioned. I recently did a cost comparison with one of our vendors and the [unnamed] vendor - and they were three (3) times the price we are currently paying for our fasteners. I haven't seen the salesman since I showed him that comparison.:cool:

[Dennis Puskar]

John what Harvey is saying is that a No. 7 nut 1 1/4-8 is standard and No. 8 nut 1 1/4-8 is a nut with a interference fit.

[John Strait]

Dennis,
Thanks for the clarification on that. I appreciate your description.

Oops. I responded to what appeared to be a new post. Sorry... didn't see that it was so old...

[Reed Gray]

I went looking for them a long time ago. I was making waste blocks for turning boxes on my mini lathe, and would buy, as suggested by Bonnie Klein, 1 by 8 locking nuts for them because they are longer, and will seat against the headstock where standard nuts do not. Oh, you turn out the plastic lock ring. I wanted the same for my big lathes which are 1 1/4 by 8. I was told they were not standard, and I thin the standard for that size was 9 tpi. No locking 1 1/4 by 8. When getting the smaller locking nuts, they were cheaper by the box from the local big box store than from the fastener companies. I didn't check Grainger or Fastenall though.

7 year old thread, doubt the OP is still looking for the nuts ;)

yea, he probably went nuts looking for the nuts. I think the Beale Threading Tool would be a more econometrical choice (wonder if it was available seven years ago).

[Hal Taylor]

Another way to go - I use a tap from Beale Tools for threading wood for fixtures, etc.

[Tony De Masi]

Yes it was.
