Hi Soren, You know the alternative to the 127 tooth wheel is 21....( 6:1 ratio as near as dammit...) |
| Soren Hansen:
Hi John Ruud I can't find the article right now, but have read if I use a 47/37 combo, I transform my leadscrew from a 8TPI to a 2,5mm pitch and the error is less than 0.015%, but then I have to buy the 47 and 37 gears. Then again, if I was to use a 21 gear, my leadscrew would catapult the apron down the bed so fast it would need a airbag at both ends of it's travel, or do I misunderstand anything ? Mind you I come from a total manual lathe like the one on this pic, but without the gearbox and changewheels |

Soren, This chart shows the configuration to use 21t gear(s) for metric threading. No airbags necessary! Hope this helps. Cheers. Phil. |
