Excellent:)

Given your lathe is only 300mm between centres, and even the longest of thread will only be a few tens of microns out; Why bother with a 127T gear at all?

Good point, Bill! It would be a bit silly of me to chase after a degree of accuracy which won't, in practice, make a blind bit of difference.

John thanks for the follow-up. It's always good to get a fresh set of eyes on a job.

Your video is one of the better ones and very clear and easy to follow, lots of people will gain confidence from it. I like your bronze casting ones too.
