Might be better if you posted a link to the lathe or a piccy.
I think it might be one of those where buy 10 you can have your own name on.

Have a look on the grizzley tools site, find the lathe closest to yours (13x36) and then look at teh instruction manuals which are a lot better written than most supplied with these lathes.
Also search here for "Crusader" which is a similar sized machine and thread cutting has been discussed.

Hmm couldnt find any on grizzly that resembled the machine. And that old thread had a dead link to what seemed a great program. =)

Same as Chester Crusader and many others.

It was on Grizzly site some time back as a current model you will have to open up the many manuals, best of luck.
Boggies your man though g4003 is currently different its a Craftsman.

It looks like a close cousin of my lathe, maybe identical twin!
So whats the problem NeoTech?
(You dont need a book, you just need to know how to crack the code as all the information is on the machine.)
