Re: Lathe set up metric


 

One other thing, if a lot of inch threading is required, pick up an inch
leadscrew conversion kit from
along with a set of inch changegears. Solves any almost fits threading
problems.

I am looking at a lathe that is set up to metric scale - the dials

I want to make working model steam and internal combustion engines
from castine kits and bar stock, and assume many of the kits are
from overseas sources and come with metric drawings anyway...

It is a nice machine otherwise and a good value...

Thanks,
