Alternate Configuration

The alternate end gear configuration is used when cutting modular or diametral threads. The 57T end gear is positioned on the outside so that it meshes with the 44T transposing gear instead of the 56T gear, as illustrated in Figure 74.

4.Loosen the pivot arm hex nut shown in Figure 75, then swing the pivot arm to the left so that 44T/56T gears are away from the 57T gear. Hand tighten the hex nut to keep the arm in place.

5.Use a stiff brush and mineral spirits to clean away the debris and grime from the gears and shafts, then lubricate these devices as instructed in the End Gears lubrication subsection on Page 70.

6.Making sure to keep the key seated in the shaft, remove the spacer and the 57T gear, then re-install them as follows:

—For the standard end gear configuration, slide the 57T gear on first, then the spacer on the outside.

—For the alternate end gear configuration, slide the spacer on first, then the gear.

7.Re-install the cap screw, lock washer, and flat washer you removed in Step 3 to secure the spacer and 57T gear.

Note: DO NOT overtighten the cap screw— it merely holds the gear in place. Overtightening it will make it harder to remove later and may restrict the rotation of the gears.

8.Slide the pivot arm back so that either the 44T or the 56T meshes with the 57T gear, then retighten the pivot arm hex nut.

Note: Make sure to keep approximately 0.002" play between the gears.

9.Replace and secure the end gear cover before connecting the lathe to power.
