So I'm up to cutting the thread on the replacement compound feed screw.

Putting the gearbox in 2mm pitch mode works for a normal triangular thread, but looks way too small for the acme thread.

Should I be using a different pitch or feed rate for acme thread? The gearbox mentions 50 or 20 stud gear. Which one is that?

I haven't done a lot of threading to date. I'm also going to put a forward and reverse switch on the lathe as I don't have a threading dial.

Any pro tips?
