Threading Dial
If TPI is divisible by 8 thread dial isn't needed- engage anywhere!
If TPI is even use any mark on the thread dial
If TPI is odd use only the numbers
If TPI is a 1/2 TPI like 11.5 use only the same number
If TPI is a 1/4 TPI or metric keep half nuts engaged and reverse spindle
Metric Threading
use 37/47 for approximate or 100/127 for exact.
can also use 63/40 and a factor of two elsewhere but a 40:1 dividing head won't do 63.

Note that this worksheet has a vba macro for calculating the involute function and its inverse (INV and IINV).
Designing standard module gears is easy because you pick the module and all other dimensions fall into place with simple formulas. There are some
minor differences in tooth dimension standards. Here we use the practice of US gear cutter makers where clearance = 0.157 * module. The problem
arises when reverse engineering an existing gear system because it may not be a standard module and may use a profile shift. It may take a certain
amount of trial and error to come up with a shift that gives the correct OD and center to center distance, if they can be achieved at all.

Gear Selector for Fine Pitch Metric Threads on the Logan Changegear Lathe
1) Enter the desired pitch. We assume that 37/47 or 100/127 gear packs are already installed.
2) Select a gear pair from the table that produces the correct ratio. Install as the stud gear and leadscrew gear.
3) If a simple ratio is impossible, select two gear pairs, one for each of the new 1st and 2nd ratios. Some fractional multiplier may be needed.
4) Install one pair as the stud and outer of the pack nearest the leadscrew, the other pair as the inner of the pack, and the leadscrew gear.
Warning- Especially with the finer threads, many combinations can't be physically installed and engage properly. Experimentation required!

More explanation:
The Logan leadscrew is 8 TPI, or 3.175 mm pitch. When you install a 100/127 pair the ratio is less than one so you are turning the leadscrew slower and
increasing the threads per mm that are cut, i.e., decreasing the pitch. The pitch is divided by 1.27, giving an effective leadscrew pitch of 2.5 mm per thread.
With the 100/127 gears in place you can simply think of the lathe as having a 2.5 mm pitch leadscrew. Thus the 2.5 factor in cell F11 of this spreadsheet.
If you're using the 37/47 gears, the correct number would be 2.499468, but this would just confuse things because none of the results would come out even.
The error between the 100/127 and 37/47 gear pairs is about 0.02%, insignificant for most purposes. It might matter for long engagements, but there are
other sources of pitch error that would also have to be considered before attempting such ill-considered designs.

Knurling
Knurling should reproduce the knurl pattern around the part at the same spacing as the knurl. The knurl engages
the part very much like gears engage. There will be a series of optimum part diameters for a given diametrical
pitch knurl to give best quality. Though there is some flexibility in the diameter of the part, unsuitable part
diameters will lead to double tracking of the knurl and a poor pattern. If the knurl spacing on the part doesn't
match the knurl then double tracking has occured. Use this spreadsheet to choose optimum part diameters for
specific knurls. Most instructions state that some experimentation will be required.

Remember that the part diameter will grow with knurling, so you may want to choose one of the smaller blank
diameters calculated above.
You can also ink the (clean) knurl on a stamp pad and roll it down a piece of paper or just make an impression.
Count lines and measure with verniers. Use the calculations below.
