Metric Threading
The metric threading gear chart is illustrated in
Figure 49. The layout is listed below to help iden-
tify gears for cutting threads with metric pitches.
The chart below lists threads in millimeters or the
theoretical amount of space one thread occupies.

Example:
To cut a thread with a pitch of 0.5 mm we would
select a 60 tooth gear and place it in the A posi-
tion; we would select a 30 tooth gear and place it
in the D position and we would use the 60/120
combination gear. However, you will need to
place the gears in position A and D so that they
both contact gear B only. You can accomplish
this by turning gear D so the hub is on the outside
as in Figure 50.
