[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 831692, member: 2736"] While you are set up to cut Metric threads I would cut one more coupling and install a handle on it to turn the spindle. A friend on this site did this and I liked the idea of having total control of the spindle and not worrying about the coasting down of the spindle. If your lathe is in a tight space, a 1/2'' drive ratchet will work well and can be reversed easy. I also made a threaded nut with 1 1/16 x 16 tpi inside to screw a short threaded barrel in and install the extension nut in the spindle to hold the back of the barrel. It works well and uses the shoulder of the spindle and the receiver for the best alignment. It is a little more work but it gives you total control when you can,t disengage the half nut. Just a thought. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
