I have a late 50s Heavy 10 that I have never threaded with. I need help with the correct procedure to set the machine up. I see the threads (13 TPI) on the plate and don't have a problem with that. But How do I reverse the tool, get back to 0 on the cross slide etc.? I was spoiled by learning on a 10EE!
 
Get yourself a copy of "How To Run A Lathe" by South Bend and read the section on cutting screw threads, Chapter X (10).
