My lathe (Eriksen 180-NE) will cut 63 Standard Whitworth, 54 Metric and 40 Module thread types. I believe the 'module threads' means worm gears but am not sure.
Will this machine do Imperial threads? I may be using poor terminology here but I mean the standard threads that our USA cousins use. Generally in Australia we use metric but I am thinking ahead if I ever need to repair other thread types. My current understanding is that UNF is the same as Whitworth fine but that UNC is different to Whitworth course. That means I can potentially do UNF but not UNC.
Am I right?
