A while ago I bought a NOS Williams threading tool, posted a picture of the tool holder I made to mount it.
Finally got around to trying it.

The head is a little large so it may be a problem at times working between centres but overall its great. Easy to sharpen, just grind the top flat and a light hone. It seams really stiff, a spring pass did virtually nothing in this setup where the part was rigid. That is as cut, didn't have to remove any burrs at the top of the thread.
Wonder if they made other cutters with different front radius, this one is quite rounded so may not work for fine threads.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
