Last week, I needed some 3/8" x 16 > tpi bolts to fasten a little wood router to the table of my Cooksley … A few weeks ago on my Worden T&C build, I did a M9x1 25mm long thread on my british Kerry 1124 with gearing and gearbox set out as per instructions. Tap cut M9x1 thread in steel, only about 8mm would go on without binding. Experiment failed, lesson learnt. Get the CNC lathe conversion done ASAP, and forget the metric transposing gears and the qc gearbox! (I simply drilled out the "nut" so that only about 6mm of thread remained; hand-tightened knurled knob; more than plenty strong enough) I have pictures of the Worden at http://cnc-for-model-engineers.blogspot.com - it's a "new" blog, we'll see how it goes. Oh, just remembered - we know Gene has a CNC lathe, so he should have been ok doing this. :-) John A.
