Questions about shop made threading dial
I am going to make a threading dial for my Jet 1024. It seems pretty
straight forward, but I want to do a sanity check and ask a couple of questions. 1. My Logan 200 and the Jet have the same lead screw (8 tpi). I assume that this means I should use a 16 tooth dial gear, as that is what the Logan has. 2. The lead screw looks like an Acme thread, could it be something else? If so, how would I figure out what it is? 3. What is this kind of gear called? I.e., when I call Boston Gear, what should I say I need? Is "To fit an 8 tpi Acme thread sufficient"? Thanks, Bob |
