Hello,
I'm still getting used to the Yangzhou 13x40 Gear Head Lathe I bought a few months ago. I turned a 2.125 - 16 thread gauge over the weekend and it has a weird finish. I did a finish pass on the center section of the gauge from right to left, but the finish has a pattern that goes from left to right. I turned it at 400 rpm, .003" IPR feed rate, .010" DOC. What would cause this? It seems counter-intuitive to me.
I'd appreciate any input you could give me.
Chris
