That threw me off at first also, but no. As soon as you engage the
leadscrew, the threading will stop turning. Since the dial is moving
at the same speed as the leadscrew, it won't be changing. The purpose
of the threading dial is so you can REengage it at the same relative
position.

I tried to cut my first threads, but couldn't get synched up for
additional cuts. I figured out the dial needs to be adjusted to begin
with to even get it to start turning, but it stops turning when I
engage the lead screw nut. Doesn't it need to turn the whole time,
even when I move the tool back to the beginning of the cut? If so, how
do I adjust this thing to keep it turning?
