Hi all;
I have a 27TPI thread to cut on an Atlas 10F ... I have a quick change gear box installed on the lathe, but it has no setting for 27 TPI
I have a quick change gear set and a bracket (I have always called it a banjo...) BUT am missing some of the gears required to get the correct ratio (2x32 tooth gears) that and the bracket position A (the one to be used of course) has been welded several times & I can see a crack behind one of the welds - I don't have much faith in it holding together.
There are already about 6-8 gears on the bracket for the quick change box to be able to engage the lead screw forward/reverse control and engage the spindle. (of course none of them were 32 teeth!!)
Does anyone know if I can swap out the gears in place now (to engage the quick change box) with different sizes to be able to change the ratio and get that 27TPI?
-thanks
