??? ??? If your threading SLOW that would be a good time to have
a crank on the outboard end of the spindle????? . That will
probably be my MO when I attack this project . I'm hoping to bring
my 9A over to my new shop in the next 2-3 weeks . Wife is
finishing up with the drywall screws & hope to have it painted
this weekend? . Then I have to wire & I'm thinking of raising
the bench? that the lathe is on & pouring a concrete pedestal
to raise the mill up some . I'm getting to the point that I can
only work within a certain range of my arms & the slightest
angle I put my body in can ruin my next couple of days .
I have a metric threading ? but I'll start a new thread for that
.

The only difference between metric and imperial on using
threading dial is that with metric you have to start ON THE SAME
mark, every time.?
I had that idea a while ago as I had some parts to make that
would have been easier to leave in the chuck and go back and
forth to the lathe and mill. I considered using carbide tooling
to thread a commercial hex block as there was sufficient wall
thickness for the threads. I never got around to it but it is
still in the back of my mind. If I had a surface grinder making
one would be much easier. I have a 10k and have used the printed
gears from Ebay with great success making metric threads. I
believe I saw a way to use the threading dial on you tube but
never tried it. Something about using the same mark on the dial
I believe but don't hold me to it.
