I'm a certified machinist, but it's been about 6 years, and several hospitalizations at the VA, since I've done anything in my machine shop.? I'm not asking how to cut threads, just how to cut them manually with a machine like the Dalton, and at this point, the only info I need is which gear goes where as labeled on the back cover.? I'm cutting the inside of two1.5" OD tubes, 20 tpi NS, and the outside of a 3/4" OD tube, 28 NS.? I know how to cut threads on a modern lathe. I'm curious, DW: in the time it took to write that snarky, unhelpful reply, why you couldn't simply have answered my question about the gears, or let someone else help?
