Threading Helper Kit, Old Style DRO Readout - Main image
$25.52 $35.95 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.

David ★★★★★

Finally, a simple way to set the compound to exactly 29.5 degrees without squinting at the DRO. The dial clicks into place with a satisfying feel, and it saved me time on my first threading job.

Hannah B. ★★★★★

The 29.5-degree dial makes threading setup so much faster than guessing the angle, and it fits perfectly on my mini lathe's compound. No more squinting at tiny marks.

Riley ★★★★★

Finally got my mini lathe DRO set up for threading and this kit made dialing in the 29.5 degree angle almost too easy—the bracket fits snug without any slop. Saved me from having to swap out the DRO screen mid-job.
