Hello Again
Well now I have to thank RAAArtyGunner for his information and link.
However after I read through that entire link, I MUST CONFESS, I am confused! My VERY LITTLE experience with multi prop boat drives. This is why I asked about the Need for Left and Right hand Dies; M2-M5.
I am planning on working on Several Torpedo Boats, U.S, U.K, German, Japanese, ALL to be direct drive and true to their propeller setup.
What I am NOT sure of is if I have a boat that has two LH Props and 1 RH prop, which die do I use to thread the prop shaft for it so that of course the prop does not come off or am I making it too complicated and ALL the shafts are RH Die threaded and the props are LH and RH pitch and ALL the prop shafts turn in the same direction when the boat is going forward then in opposite direction when going in reverse?????
Please help with this confusion so I don`t waste my time buying dies I do not need. Also I do own a lathe with an attachment that holds the die.
Thanks Again
George
