Do I need more gears on 260ATM?
For the first time today I decided to explore thread cutting on my new (old) lathe. I attempted to cut M12 x 1.5, but the pitch spacing seemed way too close together? Can I kindly ask for advice here please? According to the front plate, (I think I'm reading it right) the right gear lever should be on "B", and the Left lever should be on "6". But the thread was way too close together! Please correct me If I am doing something wrong please! Then I thought maybe I don't have the correct gearing?

Which one is a stud gear (should be 45 tooth according to the plate)? and which one is the screw gear (should be 60 tooth according to the plate!
Any help would really be appreciated
with thanks
