Sure thing. The big parts are:Shooter -
Could you give a PM1030V noob a quick synopsis of threading on this machine?
Does that help?
Im happy I was able to help. I know it is intimidating at first. When I first had my 7x12 lathe, I didn't think I would ever be able to cut a decent thread. I think it took me 5 tries to get it right (most mistakes wouldn't have happened with the 1030v) but after the next 5 threads, it was as easy as any other lathe operation. It isn't nearly as hard as it looks once you have done it a few times. Good luck!I'd say that sums it up incredibly well. I've printing the "Shooters Guide to Threading" out and it'll be in my filing cabinet, next to my lathe.I really appreciate it.
I'm planning on YouTube binging tonight on some threading videos, but your comments really put it all into perspective.
Now I guess it's just a matter or giving it a shot.
Thanks again.
For some reason, your picture shows up in the email alert I got and the reply quote, but I get a red X in the actual thread.Well, I've threaded..
I didn't change the gears, I just set everything up and practiced threading.
My threads, who knows what pitch, I think are too tight, as it gets deeper into the cut, it's like it's turning the threads off the work.
I also only have a carbide insert, I need to try some HSS bits, but I need to pick up a jig for grinding the threading tool.

Is that what I have been doing wrong all this time?you would think I was doing it with a chainsaw after 10 beers.
