Boley & Leinen LZ4P Change Gear Calculator

This tool can calculate possibly alternative gears that can be used to cut a particular thread on a Boley & Leinen LZ4P. It works with a 9 TPI leadscrew (as I don't know the pitch of any metric version that the manufacturer may have made).

I haven't done a lot of sanity checking on this calculator yet, so if you notice any mistakes or problems, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

I am a hobbyist metalworker and woodworker. I work as an electronic design engineer and spend most of my working days in front of a computer so I enjoy having the opportunity to use my hands and make things in my spare time. I particularly enjoy making tools as I can then use them on other projects. This website showcases some of the things I've made.
