Mike.
Those of you who haven't yet taken the plunge into using lay-down full-form threading insert tools can see the benefit of spending the money right there. perfect burr free threads with nice finishes are easily achievable. The tools can be found on eBay for cheap if you know what to look for and are patient and diligent in looking. I got my collection of internal and external toolholders and inserts over a period of a half-dozen years, and have made beautiful threads like those in all materials.
Well worth the investment of time and money, IMHO.
VERY true Ken!
Those threads are a 6 pitch. Believe me......compared to most threads, they seem to be a mile deep!
However with the correct tooling, proper inserts for the material being cut, and appropriate cutting parameters being followed.......it's a piece of cake!
