Lucy V. ★★★★★

Finally, a metric threading conversion that actually fits without modification. The cross slide screw swapped in perfectly, and now my SC4 cuts metric threads cleanly on the first pass.

Eva ★★★★★

Installing these parts took less than half an hour and the new metric dials are clearly marked, making fine adjustments much easier. The cross slide screw turned smoothly right out of the box.

Zoe K. ★★★★★

The conversion is straightforward; I swapped the cross slide screw in under an hour and the threading came out perfectly. The carriage dial now reads in mm, which saves me constant mental math during setup.
