Changing leadscrew pitch
#1
I'm looking at replacing the leadscrew on my lathe (Takisawa TSL1000D) as its very worn, but its a 30x4mm pitch and I'm having trouble sourcing that particular size.
30x6mm is quite common.

The manual for the lathe states that it can come with one of 3 leadscrew options - 6TPI, 4mm, or 6mm.

Without thinking about it too hard, if I changed from 4mm to 6mm pitch would it be a simple case of gearing the input down using different change gears to achieve the same threading pitches?
I know gearing it down would mess with the feed rates too, but I'm less concerned about that.
