Hi all
New to all of this and have recently sold my Chinese lathe (which i havent got that much experience on) and replaced it with a Churchill Cub mk3. have also purchased a Dore Westbury mill.
I have been trying to set up for metric screw cutting and when I swap the gears to the ones listed on the plate inside the end cover, they dont match up
I have it set up currently with 120T gear at the bottom, 110T intermediate ad 30T at the top (which is the settings on the plate at the base of the gearbox
Lathe works great and I’m having a lot of fun with it. I would like to learn how to set it up for metric threads, if anyone can shed light on this for me I would be most grateful
I purchased the operators booklet from Lathes.co.uk but it doesn’t help me as there is no gearing info in there
Kind regards
Bob
