Changing Gears for Thread Selection
In order to cut threads as listed in the charts and set the
longitudinal feed and crossfeed rates, the gears will need to be
changed to match the values shown in the
“a” and “b” gear rows
of the charts.
1. DISCONNECT POWER TO MACHINE.
2. Take off the gear cover (located on the left side of the lathe)
by removing the two thumb nuts.
3. Remove the socket bolt and flat washer to replace either
gear
“a” or gear “b” with another gear.
Note: DO NOT place anything hard between the
gears to prevent rotation or you could break the teeth.
4. Loosening the clamp bolt and pivot nut will allow
you to rotate the bracket.
5. To move the large gears towards or away from
the small gears, loosen the slide nut.
6. After the gears are changed out, make sure
they mesh properly before tightening the slide
nut, pivot nut, and clamp bolt.
Important: Make sure to use the actual charts on your lathe to determine the correct
thread settings.
