Using Thread Dial and Chart
Find the TPI (threads per inch) that you want 
to cut in the left column (see Figure 96), then 
reference the dial number to the right of it. The 
dial numbers indicate when to engage the half 
nut for a specific thread pitch. The thread dial 
chart can also be found on the front of the thread 
dial housing.

Figure 96. Thread dial chart.
The thread dial is not used for metric, diametral, 
or modular pitch threading. You must leave 
the half nut lever engaged from the beginning 
until the threads are complete for these types of 
operations.
The following examples explain how to use the 
thread dial chart.
TPI 4-72 Divisible By 4
Use any line (position) on the thread dial, shown 
in Figure 97, for threading TPI divisible by four.
Figure 97. Any position marked on the dial can be 
used for threading 4-72 TPI.

TPI 2-54 Not Divisible By 4
Use any of the non-numbered lines on the thread 
dial for threading the TPI shown in Figure 98.
