There would be a comma between I can change, and, I think. hahaha....
those are very good questions. its not missing any other parts, so to say it was a parts machine doesnt really fit.Sitting here wondering where did the 32T gear come from and where is the 34T gear at.
Scratching my head here wondering where the original metric dial gear is and where did the 14TPI gear come from.
Why would someone modify a metric lathe that does both mm and inch threads, to one that only does metric pitches?
Would the previous owner let you rummage around his shop looking for any spare gears that belong with the lathe?
Re the thread dial gear, 16.0T or 32.0T would be my choice. Either one will get your nuts to work for inch threads.
Agree about no half nuts for mm threads, the 8.0 TPI lead screw just does not sync with metric. There might be a convoluted way to use the half nuts for metric threads but I'm too old for that.
