Threading on g0602 ok I wanna cut 1/2 imperial thread and wanna make sure I set compound right do I set degree wheel to 30 then square compound to stalk at a 90 then start threading ???
No. On some lathes you need to be at 29.5 deg or at 60.5 deg. You do not want to be at 59.5 deg.On some lathes that means you set the compound to read 59-1/2 while others it's 29-1/2
