Need to cut 13tpi

![]() 20 forum posts | I need to cut a 13tpi thread (1/2 in UNC). This size does not appear on the chart, but 26tpi does. My thoughts are as follows:- On the other charts A on the 3 position lever is slowest, B is twice as fast as A and C is twice as fast as B. The setup for 26tpi uses A1, so if I use B1 wil I get 13tpi? Anyone know the answer? |
