Screw Thread Kinks PDF Download

Excerpt from Screw Thread Kinks TO cut a left-hand thread, the handle I is lowered until gear F meshes with E. This makes L run in the reverse direction, as E, G and the intermediate run the same way. This is the Object Of the gear F, which is idle when cutting right-hand threads. Having settled the direction in which the gears run, the next question is, the gears required to produce the right thread on the work. It is easy to see that if the lathe spindle and the lead screw revolve at the same rate, the carriage will advance one thread at each revolution and cut the same thread as the lead screw. With the gearing shown in Fig. 1, this will not be the case, because the gear on the stud S has fewer teeth than the main driving gear E, so that the lead screw will turn at a slower rate, and cut a finer thread.
