Cascado,
Great video! And good idea. I could have put into backgear and slowed way down. Live and learn!
EE and Mark, thank you for the comments!
I am just glad I was able to make it work and happy I learned a new process. This got me thinking, and that can be scary, when making multiples of the same part. I found my cross slide coming back to zero (not exactly but close) once I turned to size. If my turning tool and treading tool both had the same stick out, I could turn to the zero mark to reach my final diameter, prior to threading.
Now, I am new and my machine is not in that good of shape. But I started to see the potential.
