Re: Backgear
yeah its your best friend if your trying to properly knurl anything. i spent a whole night in my teams shop this season trying to get ours to work properly, and i couldn't be more glad that i did (for those of you with 50some odd year old south bend lathes like my team has, you need to pull out the bull pin under the little guard thing on the headstock right behind the chuck for it to work).
if you want to learn more cool tricks with old lathes my team's head faculty adviser gave me his machine and metalworking text book from 1961 which he stole from the last school he worked at. its got all the old school techniques and has taught me almost all i know on the lathe, just pm me if you want me to get you a copy of the lathe section of it.
