    Thanks for sharing, Nigel. Works great.

    Note to Metric users: -Only remember to enter a decimal point (instad of a comma) for Metric leadscrew pitch.

    My two cents: Personally I almost always need to know the change gear combo to reach (or nudge) my desired thread cutting pitch,
    rather than the other way around: Enter all the gears to find out what pitch I'll get then.

    Keep up the good work!

    PS: I've thus far been satisfied with Dr Al's Mini Lathe Gear Calculator
    (particularly when cutting Imperial threads on my Metric mini lathe, by just 3D print a few extra 21, 50 & 63 T gears):
