[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 787607, member: 2736"] Sorry, The lead screw is in inch threads. and just simply setting to the thread pitch will not work because when you disengage the lead screw it will not pick up in the same spot. That is why once you start with the pitch that matches the metric thread pitch you cannot dis engage the Inch thread lead screw. Yes it will cut the same pitch but it will start in a different place each time. A true Metric Lathe has a duel lead screw or a metric lead screw. Very few Gunsmiths have a metric lathe because there is just not enough work to justify the cost of one. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
