Yes.

I have both the thread cutting gears (150 250) and the lathe threading attachment (150 250) with a 1.0mm follower.
They came with the U3 package when I purchased it but have not had a chance to use either of them.

For the tipe of work I have always done, I am very comfortable using taps and dies.
And found the lathe threading attachment cumbersome/complicated to set up.

The thread cutting gears attachment seems to be a much better option in case I need to cut single point threads.
At the? moment I am still in the process of setting up my work space and getting the tooling I need to actually be able to make the tools I need.? 8^°

My present problem is reducing the carrier feed backlash which is why I was interested in Clive's modifications.

Thank you very much for your input.
