Metric thread with Quick Change

It worked great when I used it to make my collet chuck. You might want to give Clausing a call and check their price. Seems like it was in the high 20s when I got mine and that was for a new one and not a used one.
 
Thanks Rob. I plan to go to the Cabin Fever Expo in Lebanon PA in early January. I will hold off on buying anything until then. There are usually good deals to be had on Atlas parts. Last year I picked up a carriage stop and face plate for about 30% of what they sell for on eBay.

Ooooh, Envy. I went to that show when I lived in Hanover. Great fun. Now its a 400 mile trip to get there. :apologize:
 
JP, go to

https://www.hobby-machinist.com/resources/categories/a-c-lathes-charts-tables-metric-misc-docs.518/

which is in our DOWNLOADS and download "A 30 Second Metric Conversion.PDF". It shows how to use a 52T and 44T gear mounted in place of the two 48T gears to get metric threads from 0.5 to 7.5 MM at the expense (besides the two gears) of not being able to cut 4 TPI threads without undoing the mod. Switching from Inch and MM is handled by moving the sliding gear to IN.

I thought that I had already uploaded a modified to metric version of the TPI chart on your gear box but I must have gotten sidetracked before finishing it. The chart is done except that I need to change THREADS PER INCH to something metric. I'll try to do that tomorrow.
