This lathe doesn't use threading gearbox, instead computer-controlled servo motor is directly linked to the leadscrew. Just use your finger to select desired thread pitch on the touchscreen display, the threads come out absolutely precise and you totally eliminate problems with specialized threads. The disply also shows spindle speed, cutting feed rate and DRO functionsCTL-618e toolroom lathe with Digital Threading Control replaces traditional threading gearbox with microprocessor-controlled, servo-driven leadscrew. In the past, when a machinst is faced with a workpiece that calls for thread pitch not supported on a conventional lathe, he has to locate and order a custom gear set and take the time to swap out the gears in the gearbox
