I need to be able to create/re-thread close pipe nipples and initially figured to use the lathe to do it. However, I ended up taking the 'easy' way out - I fabricated an expandable mandrel out of 1" bar stock and used it to extend the capability of my normal pipe threader.
Just didn't want to leave any stone un-turned !
