Sorry, my mistake.
I thought you were using that blue coloured ac motor with belt drive for your headstock (as shown in the earlier pictures).

I think he is but that is not a problem for threading as Mach only needs to see an index pulse to do threading. Spindle doesnt even have to be under Mach control.

Only if you wish to use the lathe manually for thread cutting would you have to keep gearboxes and leadsrew pitch the same. I think however once you have done threading on a CNC lathe you will never do it manually again, its just so easy and quick

Where are you getting the screws from?
