Are the Vermonter and the Uphill Skier basically the same, except for the Cinchable cuffs and the included wool liner? I'm asking because I hear a lot of good things about the Vermonter but I'd prefer to have a Cinchable cuff for gardening.
@diyVT2 күн бұрын
@@grocerygetter100 I am not sure but I suspect so. The uphill skier comes with a removable liner which you wouldn't want gardening but that's obviously easy to remove. There's a chance you might want to down size if you are using the gloves without a liner and you want a close fitting glove. You can size a glove so it works well with and without a liner but you can also get a glove that fits well without a liner and is too tight with a liner. I am not sure if the leather part of the uphill skier runs half a size large but it could, that's something you could talk to Vermont Gloves about. I am probably not the best source for information, I am not associated with Vermont gloves, I just like their products.

The part of the threading dial that has the numbers on it is just a piece of sheet metal with some numbers screen printed on. It's held on to the dial with a single Philips screw. My lathe has a few other things that show it wasn't very carefully made. I suspect that someone in China got a deal on the threading face plates with 6 divisions and either didn't know it was wrong or didn't care. I suspect that the faceplate of the dial was for a lathe that had a lead screw with 6tpi. Every other quality lathe that I have seen that has a 4tpi lead screw has 8 divisions on the thread dial. I will check out your video on metric threading with an imperial lathe. I saw another video of how to do it and I am curious if you use the same method.

There also should be a wheel Z =127. This is the smallest multiple of 25,4 mm (25,4 mm = 1”, and 5x25,4=127.) Are you sure the lead screw isn’t metric? You rather crudely measured 4” on the bed and assumed the lead screw to be imperial, but if it is metric, you could be talking 100 mm which is only 1,6 mm less than 4”. A difference you wouldn’t notice the way you measured. A dial with 6 devisions would be for 150mm. -It’s all decades ago for me, and being brought up in the metric system I have to do some reverse reasoning for which I am frankly too lazy right now… wishing you success nonetheless.

I think the dial is for a lathe that has a 6tpi lead screw. I am not sure how threading dials work on metric lathes but dividing by 6 in a base 10 system seems unlikely. The rest of the lathe is pretty questionably made. There were certainly some corners cut in its construction. I suspect that someone just put the wrong face plate on the thread dial because the one with 6 divisions was cheaper.
@diyVT4 ай бұрын
You can't go wrong engaging on the same number every time but you can waste time waiting for the number to come around on the dial. If you have a 4tpi lead screw you and the tpi you are cutting is divisible by 4 you can engage at any of the 16 possible locations. If it's divisible by 2 you can engage every 1/8 of a turn of the threading dial. If you are cutting and odd number TPI you can engage every 1/4 turn of the threading dial. If you are cutting a X.5 pitch you can engage every 1/2 turn of the dial. and if you are cutting a X.25 pitch you have to wait a whole revolution of the threading dial.

@@extractengineeringltd the issue with the thread dial has nothing to do with the rest of the gear train. Thankfully the chart for setting up the leavers to select a thread pitch is correct. That would be a really pain to recreate. My thread dial is incorrect because in one full revolution the carriage travels 4" and I have a 4TPI lead screw so I have 16 possible places where I can engage the lead screw. My thread dial has 6 divisions and 16 possible engagements. If you divide 16/6 you get 8/3 mean each division on the dial represents 8/3 of a thread on the lead screw. Which is ridiculous, it means you can't even engage on 4 of the 6 marks. There should be 8 divisions, 16/8 is 2. Two threads per division on the dial makes perfect sense.

My modern turn lathe has both metric and imperial marks on the dial. I was confused about it at first but I realized that only the imperial marking lines end at a whole number after a full revolution.

I would suspect that it's for a lathe that had a lead screw with 6 threads per inch. I am not sure what type of thread dials lathes with metric lead screws have but 6 divisions would be weird to have in a base 10 system. Metric threading with an inch lead screw pretty much requires that you don't disengage the half nut. Or if you do disengage it that it gets engaged at exactly the same place in the lead screw that you disengaged it.
