First off I hope this is in the correct category. I searched around and couldn't decide where to put it and this looked to be the best option.
My problem is that my lathe will cut M1.20 and M1.30 pitch threads but my chart does not show that it can cut M1.25 pitch. This is a standard lathe with an 8TPI lead screw. To cut metric threads I must change my gears from a 40 x 127 x 40 to a 40 x 127/120 x 40. Is there a way to cut M1.25 threads on this lathe? If I have to have new gears cut then so be it. I've searched all over the net and no one else I can find has this problem. Thanks in advance.
