Hello all. I recently purchased my first lathe, the BV25B chinesse piece of masterwork. Well it isnt that bad, at least I wont be turning in my drill press anymore. The lathe is acceptable for me but there is a little shortcoming, it does not have a thread dial indicator, you see, I want to make some nuts for my 3mm pitch two flutes leadscrew and I do not have a certain method to engage the halfnut in position for the second pass. There is also a possibility to make the dual V cutter and make both flutes in one pass, but I d rather have a thread dial indicator. Is there any plans or mods for thread dials? I dont even know how it works, I know that the dial turns but nothing else.
Thoughts?
Thanks. Konstantin
