The Model G9729 is capable of cutting many standard inch and metric threads. Follow the pro- cedures listed in Changing Gears in the previous section and change the gears according to the chart for the thread desired. Example: The example shown in Figures 47–50 depicts the order the gears should be installed for a 120/127, 72, and 30 tooth gear set-up.
Set the feed direction lever for either right or 1 or 4 left-handed threads. Figure 51. G9729 Thread dial chart. Examine the thread charts (inch or metric), see Figures 46 & 52 , and then set the feed Examine the thread dial chart in Figure 51 rate selectors to the appropriate settings.
