G'day everyone,

I have to cut some imperial threads in the near future for various projects. Seeing as these are likely one off threads, I wanted to avoid having to buy several taps that that I would probably use once or twice. My mini lathe is able to cut threads suing the leadscrew, but it is set up to cut metric threads, not imperial. In this video I will go through the various change gears used to cut imperial threads on a metric lathe.
