Default Re: Tuesday tech. My lathe. Why is metric screwcutting screwy???

I'm confused how the imperial side still worked unless the ratio was dictated entirely by the distance between gears rather than the teeth. Which would mean there was a tiny difference in distance when switched to metric. Which there apparently isn't.
Curious.
