Thanks for the reply Rob..practice makes perfect and all that :clap:
Not that you seem to need it. I was just wondering if there was a reason the thread had to be handed the right way.
I have been told acme threads are almost impossible for us to cut with our machines, though I couldn't see why?
You have of course shown us this is not so :bow:
Very nice progress, watching this thread with great interest :thumbup:

Hi Darren
It has just come to me , i had a brain fart , The lead screw needs to be L/H so it matches the cross slide dial 0 to 125 , if it were R/H i would have to work backwards on the dial 120 to 0 when putting a cut on .
Cutting the thread was really no trouble , and i used EN24T for the leadscrew , you just have to go slow and use a traverling steady ,as it dose require allot of force at full thread dept .
Cheers Rob

Sometimes I think the Chinese chappies put an incorrectly handed feed screw on my lathe. With the gear box set one way the carriage feeds towards the chuck but set like that the cross slide feeds outwards. :doh:
