Hi guys! I've got the gear locations for screw-cutting figured out (stud is topmost, just in front of the two little gears, the comp is next lowest, and the screw is bottom-right, attached to the carriage lead screw.), but there's still one thing that has me stumped: What do you do if the thread you're cutting doesn't call for comp gears (which most threads don't)?? How do you get the stud gears to mesh with the screw gear?? As far as I can tell, they're completely out of react from one another.? Surely Dalton would have listed a pair of gears to put in the comp position if doing so was necessary, but I can't see how this is done with this spot empty. Am I missing something?
Thanks!
