Thread: metric thread on my imperial lathe |
10/07/2019 14:33:36 |
I am used to imperial threading on my imperial L5. I have the necessary gears for metric threading and understand what is necessary but what about the clutch? Should I leave it engaged all the time too? I have no reversing switch on my motor so winding the carriage back is the issue. Will I be able to hand-wind the gears backwards with or without disengaging the back gear? Could I stop the motor and reverse the feed direction in order to use the motor for the rewind and still pick up the thread? Any suggestion please! If metric threading becomes a regular need I will fit a reversing switch at some point. |
