Hi Simon
It is curious how lathes lose gears; not as of much other use for anything else. Most amateurs avoid screwcutting if possible. Curious what you thread. Do professionals manage not to retract the tool? The thread indicators are very simple. No use when cutting matric on imp lathe and vice versa.
Colleague recently acquired thru trade Me a like new condition Taiwanese copy of the austere Myford model for $600 (L300).
And lathe owners please keep them covered when not in use. Dust and rust rapidly age.
