I have been "machining" for a few years but only for odd jobs or artistic work. My lathe was free but was missing the parts for threading. I now have a fully operational lathe (Rockwell 10") and just successfully made my first threaded part.
Anyway I am very new at this but this article caught my eye. It makes a lot of sense to me, has anyone else here used a cuttoff blade for threading?
