Well - not today's project but next weeks will be to strip the 3 phase motor on my lathe which has a noisy bearing. I was half way through single point threading a 7/16-14 thread to make the carriage lock when it went from sounding nice and smooth to sounding like a rock concert!
Rather than risking further damage by collapsing the bearing, I turned it off, removed the belts and continued threading by turning the lathe by hand. Boy am I glad that I only had 2 more passes to get the nut to fit and only 25mm of thread length!
