lathe thread-cutting dial
(OP)
I have an old lathe in the machine shop, which has an indicator dial that has dual numbers. However, the machine is so old no documentation can be found inhouse and/or online. Have tried to contact mfg'r with no avail. Anyone wanna take a shot in breaking the code? Will upload photos tomorrow

Odd number of thresds, you can lock in on any number, Even number only use the even numbers, 2,4,6 ect, has worked well for me for the last 35+ yrs.
