Roger B:
I fitted a handle to the end of the leadscrew and feed the complete carriage (you can just see the handle in the second picture). Instructions for the Seig version are given in David Fenners book:

(other booksellers exist)

My version of the minilathe is slightly different and already had a thread on the right hand end of the leadscrew.

Thanks for the link, I've just bought one...looking forward to seeing it. No mine hasn't a thread, I also have a metric leadscrew and it hasn't either. Good solution that, didn't think of it  :Doh:  Looking at your setup I really must get a collet set. I made up a few holders but I should invest. They were a quick fix really.
