Hi,
Lathe info SN 14287RKX16
R= 10 in swing
K= Quick change gear
X= Special
I have one set of gears from the spindle to the lead screw gear box
Stud gear 40 tooth
Idler 80 toot
Lead screw/gearbox input: 56 tooth
When I want to cut imperial threads, say 18 TPI I have to set the levers in the 6 TPI position (3x6=18) setting to get the correct spindle to lead screw ratio.
Does anyone have a chart or some other information that shows what stud gear or lead gear I need to get the normal standard ratio so the gear box numbers will match the actual speed.
Thanks
