Thread Cutting on the Hardinge Lathe

[TomG]

One other feature I forgot to mention is the auto stop. You can set it to stop the tool when threading to a shoulder and it will stop within thousandths every time (even with a spastic hand). It's a bit scary to use the first time, but once you get over the initial terror of threading full speed to a shoulder or the chuck hands off, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.
