Just tried fussing with the change gears on my 7x12 mini-lathe to teach myself lathe threading, and what a major PITA! The nut/bolt adjustments to get the gears into position are essentially unreachable if the gears are actually in place, and getting them to mesh without skipping and/or grinding is a hair raising adventure. I was getting so anxious I had to stop. Just ranting, but if anyone has tips I'd love to hear them.
