Thread Cutting
As indicated on the threading charts (see Figure
21), several different threads can be cut using the
proper combination of gears and settings. When
cutting inch threads, the half nut and threading dial
(Figure 19) are used to thread in a conventional
manner. The thread dial charts specifiy at which
point a thread can be entered using the threading
dial.

Metric Thread Cutting
The only difference in metric thread cutting is the
half nut must be engaged during the entire
threading process. The thread dial cannot be
utilized.

Set the machine up for the desired thread pitch
(according to the metric threading chart on the
machine, also shown in Figure 21). Start the
machine and engage the half nut. When the tool
reaches the part, it will cut the initial threading pass.

When the tool reaches the end of the cut, stop the
machine by turning the motor off and at the same
time back the tool out of the part so that it clears the
thread.

Do not disengage the half nut lever. Reverse the
motor direction to allow the cutting tool to traverse
back to the starting point. Repeat these steps until
you have obtained the desired results.
