Think I have mine set up on the higher of the 2 shown.

Just checked only got one 80T gear unfortunately, and only need to cut the one thread presently would you believe it.

In your experience would you think it worth me starting a thread asking for a spare 80T gear?

Bet there are loads of spares out there forgotten about in back of Dad's old workshop. Is there a 'Wanted' facillity on the forum Jason?

TIA

Hi Jason,

Thanks very much for your detailed reply much appreciated.

Odd the picture didnt show cos it's showing here on my PC but yes its the same as the one you supplied. I did grasp the initial set-up for threading thank you, it was the feed part of the diagram I didnt get to be honest.

Don't know about yours but my user manual shows different gear train set-ups for threading compared to the outer-cover? The outer-cover references a 39T gear? Upon checking the manual I did notice the twin 80T option but don't think I have 2 of them in my kit.

I'll have to check, failing that it's cheaper just to buy a split die than a new gear/gears.

Great to have this resource for queries cos even though I been in trade for last 30years+ I never owned any machinery myself and it's like doing my apprenticeship again lol.

Best regards,

Nicky

Hi All,

Hope somebody can advise please.

Currently running a WARCO WM250V imperial lathe but need to cut a 1.5 pitch thread.

I have the standard supplied gear set ie. 20,30,40,50,55,60,63,70,75 + 80.

Is there anyway I can cut this thread using these gears?

Also apart from the gear train can anyone explain what these illustrations on the upper outer casing mean?

Many thanks gents,

Regards,

Nicky
