In the July/August, 2015 issue of Machinist magazine I saw the plan for a lathe threading devise. I needed some practice for a upcoming major mill project and I could see that this project would fit the bill. This project needed dovetails cut and drilling on bolt circle. I made mine from scrap that I had in shop and the dimensions can be adjusted for your needs. I feel as though this would be a good project for someone just learning the basic skills as it combines mill and lathe work. After finishing the project I found it works as described and does make threading on lathe a lot easier.

Looks good. Have you tried it out yet?
Yes I have it works very well. It makes threading easier as you don't have to change very much as you thread. It also works good if you have a lathe with much blacklash you can retract the cutter with the tool and move back to make new cut and just adjust cut depth.
