Mr blindbird:
Yes,i did cut them,even in a strange way;backwards with an inside threadingtool mounted upside down :ddb:
But i have to say;there is a button on the lathe that makes the engine spin a short way,that made it easyer to get back to the narrow groove,realy great help as i tend to cut my threads keeping the halfnuts closed to go forth and backworth on the same thread.




It was still in my fingers after all this time :headbang:

Hi Danny

I would never have thought of cutting threads like that, working back from the shoulder, thanks for showing that ones filed away for future use.

Cheers

Mr blindbird:
Glad to bring in some light but if you do it like this in the future...make ABSOLUTELY SURE your head is 100 percent clear because,you have to keep on mind;you have to start the chuck turning the other way to...one mistake and you can end up launching the threadingtool into the piece with a ruined work and broken threadcutter following...wouldnt wanne have that when you allready spend some hours on the piece right? :doh:

Darren:
Certainly wouldn't..... :zap:

Interesting idea though. Did you make the plate as well.

I was thinking that this was maybe the only bit you made but it seems not..... :clap:

John Hill:
Excellent example of work on that shaft Danny! :thumbup:

I too have a 'jog'  button but I am careful of using it because every 'start' puts a strain on the motor especially the starting capacitor and mine has already failed once.  It is a Chinese lathe. ::)
