Hi all,
I have a Colchester Master Mk2 and have been trying to cut some threads but have had problems with multiple starts. After engaging the half nut at the same point each time on the indicator, I still get multiple starts. When I bought the lathe the half nut wasn't engaging so the apron etc had to be stripped and cleaned, although the half nut wasn't damaged, nor the lead screw.
Does anyone have any ideas on why I am getting these multiple starts?
