An abnormal lathe.

Post by euca06 »

Hi,
Is it possible to set ml7gear for a Chinese lathe with only one generally vertical quadrant and especially an irremovable pinion of 54 teeth on the spindle (driver).
thank you for excusing my English (Google) and above all, thank you for your response.

Hi,

The software is not set up to work with the Chinese mini lathe without setting up a new profile. You can do this yourself, but it is quite complicated.

However, if you go to the download page, at the bottom of the page there is a simpler piece of software that works with only 4 gears. This may be more useful to you?
