G0740 Lathe:
Does anyone know the metric (I assume its metric because it isn't SAE) Threads per mm for the big hold-down bolt in the middle of the 4-way toolpost. (or the T-nut threaded hole might be a better description).
Instead of trying to get a new T-nut made for my Dorian Quick Change toolpost, I want to simply turn a new bolt. Should be easy enough to do; but my Metric thread gauge doesn't go that course.
I'm thinking that it's a common thread size that fits any of the 13" and larger lathes.
I really like the massive 4-way tool holder except for the need to have a bunch of shims on hand and having to shim with every tool change. The Dorian BXA looks dinky in comparison. A CXA would look better.
