You can compound the 400 but 127 is almost essential in metric conversions unless you REALLY like working with messy fractions. Try Boston Gear. Since 20mm is coarser than 6.35mm, you need to arrange them to speed up the leadscrew. I handled this for my 8 TPI leadscrew by writing a spreadsheet that recreated the quick-change gear chart. The formula accessed an external cell in which I tried 80/127, 100/127, 120/127, and so on until the pitch I needed popped up in the chart somewhere. Jim Wilkins |
