Change gears charts for metric threading on the 7x mini-lathe Charts with standard gear set for metric mini-lathes: 20, 20, 30, 35, 40, 40, 45, 50, 50, 60, 60, 80, 80. When for B and C gears ANY is shown on tables, it means that B and C gears are only necessary as a idler gear. On these cases, use for B and C a pair of gears with the same teeth number and a suitable size to mesh with A and D. To calculate change-gears combination for threading on any lathe you can use the following formula: TPI = (B/A) x (D/C) x leadscrew pitch
