What is a tos trencin type sv18ra?
8tpi is generally a pretty easy setting for a lathe to do if that is what it
is. You do need a cutter with the right shape tho.


Sorry, it is a lathe. Made in Slovakia, sometime in the '70s. I have
access to the right cutter, I just wonder if it is possible to set
this machine to cut 8 threads per inch without modifying it and if so
how.

Thank you
