Cutting threads (imperial) on the Myford doesn't involve having to stop or reverse the motor, although to do it your lead screw has to be fitted with the thread indicator accessory. Cutting METRIC threads however does involve reversing or rewinding the lead screw manually because if you disengage you lose the correct mesh. This is due to metric thread gauges being different from imperial. HTH.
