Had some fun last night. External threads are excellent. Tried them in the chuck and they fit perfectly.
Then I thought I would make a male before I do the internal (female) so that I have some thing to try them on. i was watching John (Doubleboost) the night before and John was talking about putting the cut on with the compound slide instead of the cross slide as this then cuts on one side of the tool.
I must have done something wrong as my thread turned out like a Christmas tree. So scrapped that piece and will start again tonight.
Regards
Mike
