Here is the final installment in my thread cutting video series (the one where I put the 29º compound angle folly to rest). Enjoy!

Thanks Tom - that sure is a very nice lathe. Mine doesn't have a QCGB but I can cut down to 1tpi on mine

Great video Tom! What type of steel was that you used in the video?

I anxiously await the next one. I've never cut an internal thread.

Lol, a 1-1UN? would be an interesting exercise.

Thanks Ed. That was a piece of sissy steel (12L14) that I had laying around. It cuts nicely for a demo.

That's not a thread. That's an auger...

Excellent Tom
