Thinking about the new 1228 for hobby gun smithing work. I current have and old SB 10L 1943 model that I've been using the past few years and it is great, but I just want something new. I do a handful of barrel jobs for myself each year.
Just wondering if this machine will have enough torque at 50 rpm to thread 16 tpi at that speed? Maybe someone with the 1127 can answer this as the new 1228 has a more hp. Also, I primarily thread 16 and 24 tpi, but occasionally 20 and 28. Just wondering what threads can be done with each gear set. I assume 16 and 24 would be on the same set.
