[QUOTE="Jinx-), post: 831633, member: 19791"] Well after I got my 4 year old and 9 month old to bed I continued with my project. The lathe I have in my garage is not professional, its just G0602 benchtop from Grizzly, so according to their manual "Note: Since this lathe has an inch leadscrew, do not use the thread dial when cutting metric threads. Instead you must leave the half nut engaged from the beginning until the threading operation is complete." So when threading I have to stop the spindle, back the croslide, then engage reverse, then stop spindle, backup croslide, then move compound and engage forward. So when I press stop, spindle will rotate and since lead screw is engaged, carriage will move and on 1.5 metric thread I get about .150 - .200 until it completely stops. Yeah I hate it, but I can't buy another lathe at this point :D Anyway, I got half way through, I decided to go with the original drawing, good thing threading is done and its perfect tight fit. I still have to cut it to size and tap them holes, but it shouldn't be complicated.
