To cut double lead threads on an engine lathe, first ensure your lathe is equipped with a suitable threading tool and that the lathe's gearing allows for double lead threading. Set the compound rest at a 29-degree angle for a 2-start thread. Use the threading dial to engage the feed at the appropriate point, making sure to adjust the spindle speed and feed rate for the desired thread pitch. As you cut, maintain consistent pressure and depth to achieve a clean thread finish.

What is meant by pitch measurement in lathe?
Pitch measurement refers to the distance from one thread to the next when threads are cut on a lathe. Different threads have different pitches and a lathe can be set to to cut to any specified pitch. This is achieved by selecting the pitch and engaging the lead screw on levers located on the headstock, then engaging the half-nut around the lead screw from the apron. With the correct threading tool inserted threads can be cut into the workpiece.
Is a lead screw reversible?
presuming you mean the lead screw on a lathe, used when cutting threads on the workpiece, then the screw itself is obviously fixed, but the rotation of it may be able to be changed, depending on the lathe manufacturer.
Q.6) What is the function of chasing dial of lathe?
The chasing dial on a lathe is used to assist in producing threads without the need for a thread-cutting tool. It allows the operator to engage and disengage the lead screw at precise intervals to create threads on the workpiece.
What is the function of a lead screw in a lathe machine?
The lead screw moves the turret by a precise increment for every rotation of the screw. This allows the machine to generate threads in a workpiece, to generate precise length and diameter dimensions, and to maintain a constant rate of metal removal.
What is Half Nut Mechanism in Lathe Machines?
Oh, dude, the Half Nut Mechanism in lathe machines is like the key to threading. It's this cool little gadget that engages the lead screw to control the movement of the carriage during threading operations. So, basically, it's like the lathe machine's way of saying, "Hey, let's make some threads without going full nut."

What a lead screw is used for?
the leadscrew is used for thread cutting on a lathe
If you need a machine lathe to make a machine lathe then how was the first machine lathe made?
By hand. You can achieve incredible accuracy by hand, it just takes forever. Also lead screws made on the new lathe will be better than the hand filed one and so on...
A lead screw of a lathe with nut forms what kind of pair?
sliding pair
What is half nut mechanism?
A half nut is literally a nut split in half, length wise and makes up the basic half-nut mechanism. Such a mechanism is typically found on a engine lathe. This mechanism can be "open" or "closed" and when closed clamps onto the lead screw of said lathe. This forms a connection between the apron of the lathe sliding on the ways. The apron carries the cross and compound slides, the latter in turn holds the cutting tool. When closed, or "engaged", the movement of the apron moves relative to the rotation of the lead screw. This lead screw is precise in nature and can be described in terms of threads per inch (or per meter or millimeter in case of metric). The lead screw is also connected somehow (there are various methods) to the main motor of the lathe and this ratio of gears can be changed so that many variations of threading, all relative to the thread of the lead screw, can be accomplished on the workpiece being turned/threaded by the screw cutting operation. On a basic older style lathe, the screw begin cut can not be cut in a single pass of the cutting tool. This means that the half-nut may need to be disengaged to reverse the direction of the apron allowing for the cutting operation to be repeated, each time engaging and re-engaging the half nut, until the depth of the screw being cut has reached a final thread depth.
What is half-nut mechanism?
Well, darling, a half-nut mechanism is a component in a lathe that engages with the lead screw to move the carriage along the lathe bed. It's called a "half-nut" because it only engages with half of the lead screw's threads. Think of it like a sassy dance partner - they only commit halfway to the dance floor.
