John, I'm getting about 2 1/2 threads per inch, not even 2 1/2. how do i determine if it is metric screw or imperial thanks |
| shipto:
Some pictures of the screw with a ruler lined up might help. |
| bert4255:
ok, it is a metric leadscrew with a 2.5" TPI |
| Pete.:
That would be a 10mm pitch screw. It's a big boy alright. A large lathe like that might well have a single tooth dog clutch which would remove the need for a dial. What make is it? |
| bert4255:
Peter, I figured it out thanks |
