Making a threading dial
#4
the thread dial is supposed to stop when the 1/2 nuts are engaged. You are supposed to engade the 1/2 nuts on the mark as the thread dial comes around. You should be able to use any quadrant on even # threads but I believe you will have to use the same quadrant each time on odd # threads, metric is another question especially on a change gear lathe. Your thread dial is definitely not broken. tom
