I have several thread gauges and they all have a 34 TPI leaf. I'm a real observant fellow and after 6 or 7 years of owning this lathe I finally noticed it does not have a 34 TPI selection on the quick change. I have 32 TPI and 36 TPI but no 34 TPI. Of course if I do want 34 TPI that also happens to be metric 0.75 which I can get though a gear change.
Now the question is why does my lathe skip 34 TPI? Is that a normal situation on other lathes? Mine is an ENCO 12x36 gear head. So this is more or less a survey question to see if other lathes have one or more selections missing from the quick change gear box. FYI, on mine that is the only one missing from the "standard" thread series.
