Armstrong threading tool (was "[LL] Lantern toolpost dimensions")
|
"The Armstrong threading tool where it's kept sharp by honing the top as the tool wears." I recently got one of these threading tools also (though I think mine is Williams brand rather than Armstrong). It's a great idea: a disk with a 60¡ã angle turned on the edge that you rotate as it wears down. You sharpen it only on top. The head is also canted at the correct angle for threading. I don't want to use a lantern tool post, but there's no reason this can't be clamped somehow onto the regular compound. Here are two photos taken from ebay. (This is not my tool, but looks similar).
