    Default Metric thread repair - TL2?

    I've been using a TL2 for a while now. I'm familiar with the thread repair function in VQC, having used it for a variety of jobs - even tapered threads have come out well. Today is the first time that I've needed it for a metric thread, and I'm not sure I can make it work!?

    I've cut metric threads using the normal "OD threading" cycle in VQC. All the numbers have to be entered in imperial - no problem. But using the "OD thread repair" function I'm forced to pick my "TPI" from a list. Metric pitches are not available! Help!

    to convert T.P.I. to metric pitch you divide your number of threads per inch into 24.4mm because 1 inch =25.4mm.

    e.g. 8 T.P.I. =25.4 divided by 8
    =3.175mm pitch

    I've restated with emphasis for clarification. Yes, I know that 1"=25.4mm. That's not the problem.

    Default metric thread

    sorry for misunderstanding your question,i apologise

    perhaps you could change setting 9(dimensioning) to metric and see if this helps.
