You going to make a new graduated dial too or just going to wing it?

Yup, new dial. One revolution will give me .100" vs the current 0.0394". I may rethink this and go with an acme 3/8-16 thread which will give me .0625" per revolution. Since i bought the tap from Amazon I have some time to return it if necessary.

EDIT: correction to the current travel per revolution. My dial reads the amount of material removed radially, not the diameter.
