Very new to machining an absolutely new to the math associated with machining. My question is if I change the thread pitch of my lead screw currently 10 threads per inch. How does that affect my dial indication and my thread/change gears?
as others have said, any change will change everything! Unless there is a very good reason to change the pitch I'd leave it as it is! I changed the leadscrew on my tool and cutter grinder, but that was simply so that I could have dials that showed the feed applied (the originals were blank and a strange thread!!)Very new to machining an absolutely new to the math associated with machining.

I was thinking of a ball screw up date , but looking into it the price had put a pretty solid No on that idea.Why would you want to do that?
Im just exploring options to fix/upgrade this unit.Mac
I didn’t read your original post very well. I definitely agree with everyone that you should not change the lead screw pitch. Sorry for any confusion. Plus I’m not sure how a ball screw drive would even work as a lead screw. Best to put it back as originally designed.
