QUICK START GUIDE
• Enter your own data in steps 1-5 then RUN.
• Step 1 : Choose the brand of your lathe.
• Step 2A: Choose the design of your gear train.
• Step 2B: Enter the gears you own for the gear train.
• Step 3 : Choose what you want to calculate
• Step 4 : Enter the % error you are willing to accept.
• Step 5 : Use ONE of the pitch entry methods below
• Step 5A Just enter the pitch or TPI, then RUN
• Step 5B Produces a table for multiple thread sizes,
• Step 5C Use standard thread tables (eg UNF).
• Step 6 : Click RUN to execute the program.
• Return to menu to alter any items and RUN again.
