here you go...


its original life started as a Valve Grinder






Now i needed to modify it, i started with a aluminum table to hold the fixtures 


 










This three axis spindle was purchased off Ebay, it has a threaded spindle nose 1-1/2 x 8 tpi same as all my lathes











here is a shot of me tinkering with it to figure out all the angles i need, this is giving me ideas on affixing the fixture





here is a shot of my first 60 degree thread forming tool with the correct side relief angles for the helix angle, notice the burning of the Ruby red wheel






a top shot of the toolbit




A depth stop was needed





i made another fixture for it




i think you get the idea





on the rotational axis i had no way to gage the angle i was turning it to so i made a graduated dial for this out of aluminium with a pointer









I am getting there.





now i need to solve my grinding wheel problem....   thanks....   Anthony
