These are for cutting imperial pitches only. For metric pitches you need to use the gears listed for the particular pitch you want to cut.
Hi Willie
Cheers for the reply, yes, that much I already knew ( I think)
It’s setting up for metric cutting that’s causing me the issue, I think i may need another gear stud, or a compound with two gears on the stud
I’m off to take a pic of gear train, to aid my inability to ask a clearer question
Back soon….
