    LatheGears by Vernon van D.

    Hello Y-geo,
    Sorry about that. I got the original then V1.2 from the author. After I posted I went and checked that download from 'software-informer' and 1: They want your E-mail. 2: Link doesn't work.
    So here is the program. It is virus free and works great. You will need to work out what your lathes gear ratios are. Start with a thread that equals your leadscrew T.P.I. or pitch, factor in reduction,(if any), at change gears and work from there. Most gear trains tend to go in simple orders.
    I have just reloaded onto a new computer that runs Windows 7 and got a request to save changes. I clicked yes and got a message 'cannot save to .ini file'
    This threw me but click no and save all change at the 'Choose Lathe" section.
    After installation go to programs file and you will find it at the bottom. I copied the Nuttal file, opened it in 'LatheGears', entered all my lathes information and saved. I then opened 'programs' and renamed to my lathes name.
    It is a bit of work to start with but this is a great program.

    *NOTE* I have made many attempts to upload this program and it is a no go. I will put into 'Dropbox' and post a link back here O.K?
