I have an Enco 12 x 36 lathe and just found out that the chart for 11 tpi is wrong
I was making an arbor for a project and needed a 5/8 x 11 thread on the end of it. Set the lathe per the chart, in a hurry and did not check the scratch pass and proceeded to cut the thread. Store bought nut won't fit so get the thread gauge and check the thread---NOT 11. Double and triple check the setup from chart--everything is right.
I did not check other sizes from thread gauge, I was tired so locked up the shop.
Tomorrow I will check the other sizes with thread gauge and maybe figure out what is wrong.
