Threading Helper Kit, New Style DRO Readout - Main image
$27.34 $36.95 In stock

These parts allow you to place the compound at 29.5 degrees for threading when you have a DRO installed on your mini lathe.
The dial works just as well as the DRO for this application because you are always returning to the same reading, usually zero, for each threading pass.

Evelyn ★★★★★

Setting the compound to 29.5 degrees used to be guesswork with my DRO mounted, but these brackets lock in that angle dead-on every time. The dial actually reads just as clearly as the digital display, which surprised me.

Julian H. ★★★★★

I was surprised how precisely the bracket holds the dial at 29.5 degrees—no more eyeballing it. The setup took less than two minutes on my mini lathe, and the threading cuts have been consistent every time.

Sebastian H. ★★★★★

The little bracket holds the dial perfectly in place at 29.5°, and it took me about ten minutes to install on my 7x16 lathe. Finally, I can cut threads without second-guessing my compound angle.
