Problems threading on a 3 in 1 machine

An "Expert" is just someone who has made all the mistakes.

I disagree Dave, I think I know a fair bit about some things, but I also know I am sure to screw up again too....

Good catch, Pmedic! Thanks for sharing the answer, it might help someone else someday!

Is there a possibility that you have the gears set up for metric threads?

This would not cause such a problem, it should repeat just at the wrong pitch however.

I've found with my 3in1 the only way to get accurate reliable threading is never disengage the feed. Seems the "economy" of 3in1 construction finds a way to get to you. :>))
