Hi All,
I'm thinking about buying the 8 x 12(or 14) lathe, the non-Seig one. One of the reasons I want a better lathe (I have a sherline right now) is that I want threading capabilities. The problem is that the lowest that the 8 x 12 goes to is 12 TPI, and I need to be able to do 8 TPI.
Is it possible to change out a gear to give me a low end range of 8 TPI?
I know I can do it with CNC, but I won't have the money to CNC this lathe for a while and I am doing simple parts on it that are pretty easy and quick by hand.
So, that being said, what say you all?
Thanks,
Wade
