Thread Cutting on the Hardinge Lathe

[TomG]

Thanks guys.

John: Top slide = compound. I get it. Yes, it's pretty handy for threading.

Ed: Yes, most any plastic is soft enough that you can use the cross slide to cut the entire depth of the thread. The exception would be something that is brittle, like bakelite or maybe Ultem.

Dave: Let's see a pic of your Holbrook, I've never seen one.
