Comment: Question 26 page 28 "Which of the following threads can not be cut using the thread chasing dial on a lathe with a 4 TPI lead screw" Answer page. 29 "B) 1-0.125P -0.25L (2 START) UN" To start I found this information very confusing. According the the chart on page 24 B will work...even lead yes 4TPI, 2 start yes. Answer A) page 28 makes no sense "1-0.167P - 0.133L (2 START) UN". 2 times pitch equals lead so 2 x .167 = 0.334L Thanks

Comment: Question 23 page 27 "How far must the compound rest be advanced when turning a 1-0.625P - 0.25L (4START) UN thread?" Answer Page 29 "A) 0.0625 inches." First of all the pitch in the callout should be 0.0625P Second assuming you are asking about advancing the tool for the 2nd thread (and so on) answer A is correct. (My mind went to slant depth).

Comment: Question #18 page 27 "What is the minor diameter of 2 - 0.25P -0.75L (3-START) UN 2A thread? Answer page 29. "D) 1.676". I believe it is 1.693" D-(2 x straight depth). Straight depth is .6134/4 in this case.

Comment: Question #13 page. 26 "What is the approximate lead angle of an 8DP worm gear with a pitch diameter (PD) of 1.75 inches?" The answer on page 29 is "B) 3.5 degrees" Are you using PD as your diameter? If so the answer is 4.08degrees...if you are using root dia. it is approximately 4.7 degrees.

Comment: Page 7 first paragraph, second sentence "The table is swiveled to the lead angle of the worm". I believe if you are using a rack milling attachment the lead angle of the worm is achieved by swiveling the rack milling attachment.

Comment: The first sentence under the heading Milling Fixtures uses the word "tenons". Is this referring to a strap clamp? Could you choose another word?

Comment: In the module Gear Manufacturing Methods page 10, the end of the very last paragraph is (OD=8.120 inches + 20.0625 inches). It should read (OD = 8.120 inches + 2 x 0.0625 inches).

Comment: In the module Gear Manufacturing Methods Page 3 the end of the third paragraph reads "2mm (M = (20+2)/44mm" It should be M = 44/(20 +2). This is derived from transposing the outside diameter formula on page 5 from OD=(N+2)M to OD/(N+2)=M.

Comment: Module 150302f Version 21 Question 13(p.26) asks; "What is the approximate lead angle of an 8 DP worm with a pitch diameter (PD) of 1.75 inches? Unless I'm missing something this should be a simple Tan function. (pi / DP (8) ) / (pi x 1.75) = 2nd fc tan = lead (linear pitch) p.11 / circumference = 2nd function tan = I get 4.085 degrees. The answer p. 29 is 13)B 3.5 degs. I think 13)C is closer, 4 degrees.
