Inch Threading
The inch threading gear chart is illustrated in Figure 44. The layout is listed below to help iden- tify the gears needed for cutting threads with inch pitches. The chart lists pitches in threads per inch.

Figure 44. Rates given in millimeters and inches.
1.The column of numbers to the right of D rep- resent the number of teeth on gears used in position D.
2.The numbers below A represent the number of teeth on gears used in position A. In this case 25 or 75 teeth.
3.Field of possible thread pitches.
4.The gear used in position B and C will always be the 125/127 combination gear. The 125 tooth gear will need to be oriented so it is in mesh with the gear in the A posi- tion.
The Model G4015Z is capable of cutting many standard inch and metric threads. Follow the pro- cedures listed in Changing Gears in the previous section and change the gears according to the chart for the thread desired. Figures 45 - 48 show the order the gears should be installed. This example shows gearing for cutting a 10 or 20 thread per inch (tpi) screw thread. (The Feed Rate Lever set to the I position will allow 10 TPI. When the lever is set to the II position, 20 TPI will be cut.)
