Does anyone hate doing single point threading as much as me?
I have a SB 9C, and doing the gear change is always a pain in the behind. Two days ago I wanted to do a 9/16-12 thread and during the gear change I managed to break off two teeth on the 80T gear. So $80 later, I'm still down waiting for an eBay order to arrive. Thankfully it was shipped the same day I ordered it.
If I break off any more teeth I think I'll buy a new lathe.
