Garden island or Cockatoo island Pete as that is where I started in 1983 where thry did send me to TAFE so yes I'm a qualified Draftsman too. They put me on afternoon shift and as I lived in the "Gong" getting a connected train meant I had a long day and I did ask to go back on day shift but after 2 months got no reply. Had one argument and called a Balmain water taxi and spent a week with the locals.
Now they kept paying me and if I kept my mouth shut I would of gotten a golden handshake when Cockatoo Dockyard closed but silly me rang them up and told them I don't work for them anymore.
Ok mate Now all you may need to is move the first 3 switch's to set the current and leave switch 4 off to reduce the holding current.
Now a 3mm pitch on a small metric lathe does sound right so each revolution is 3mm on the tool.
