Hi, I am new to model engineering, apart from some lathe practice at school about 30 years ago so please be gentle with your replies.
I have recently bought an X2 mill and an ER32 Collet chuck. These are both threaded M12 the same as the draw bar. Looking at some more items like a slitting saw arbour I found that most are 3/8th or 1/2 BSW. My problem is I only have a metric lathe so can't make a new draw bar with an imperial thread. Is there someone who sells these or a soource that has M12 arbours anywhere.
Or is there a configuration with the change gears where I can cut an imperial thread on a metric lathe.
