lots of snippage about the difference between an 8tpi lead screw and a
10tpi leadscrew on a crossslide

Bill...

....take this for what it's worth and with all the care I am able to work
up...deal with it.

There have ALWAYS been different pitchs on cross slides and and you will get
used to the fact the the lathe and mill are different really fast!

It's not any different than the fact that I have 5 machines that I program
at work and all five have different langauges...to this day, any scrap has
been MY bad, not the switching of programming langauges...exactly the same
effect with the 8 vs. 10 leadscrew. You'll use one, then use the other and
never the twain shall meet.
