ATLAS CRAFTSMAN GEARSETTE

[stevejigsaw]

Has anyone had any experience with these preconfigured "GEARSETTE" on a 6" lathe? Are they a real time saver or not worth the trouble?

Hmm. Seems like more a gimmick than a real time saver but what do I know? I've always been skeptical of "new and improved"
If you have the entire gearset then I don't really see the need. Of course, I don't use the leadscrew much except for thread cutting.
