All man Paul. You take all the fun out of using a tap for cutting 7/16-16 Acme LH nut thread. I single pointed the thread in the nut I have on my 9"SBL. Of course, I was much younger and sharper at cutting the thread then than I am now. Still have the boring bar and chunk of tool steel I sharpen to cut the thread, too.
BTW- Nice job! What class of fit is the tap you used?
2g but I will be of course single pointing the 1-1/4" 5tpi for the Bridgeport I didn't feed like I could grind a tool to do this nut. Thanks I'm getting better as I go
Paul
