G'day Ed. Firstly, congratulations on giving it a go. You haven't told us whether you are cutting imperial (inch) or metric threads. For the moment I will assume you are cutting imperial with an

You don't, at least on my Cummins 7x12. This disturbed me at first, but it doesn't matter. I haven't done a lot of threading, but what I have done has been successful (one exception while learning)

Good thinking, Ian. I think I'll fit some sort of spring-loaded catch in place of the screw, for ease of operation. Andy steam4ian <fosterscons@...> wrote: G'day Rance. If Andy is right

Hi Ian, Vikki's use of the DTI mounted in the 3 jaw to assess the tailstock offset by indicating on a dead center is accurate and the result is not affected by runout of the 3 jaw. Error arising from

That threw me off at first also, but no. As soon as you engage the leadscrew, the threading will stop turning. Since the dial is moving at the same speed as the leadscrew, it won't be changing. The

Thanks, to both of you. I think you are right. However, to stop the TS from sliding down the hillside there will need to be a bracket in addition to the screw. I think I can handle that. I finished up

G'day Vikki. Looking at the comprehensive readings you have taken it appears as if you tailstock is 8thou to the front, this would account for the 15thou taper you were getting. Your quill alignment

I tried to cut my first threads, but couldn't get synched up for additional cuts. I figured out the dial needs to be adjusted to begin with to even get it to start turning, but it stops turning when I

hello, seems like a few of us got a new machine this week. just a note to them. I thought a neat little thing to start with would be a mt3 fly cutter, so i looked up the dems, set the compound to 5

G'day gavin Andy, Steve et al. There is some good advice here, but! I don't have a mill and am not seriously looking at present. What I have seen is that the micro mills and mini mills are quite

G'day all. Well said John. Shimming and packing of work pieces is one of the skills of the job. Fellow groupies will know by now that I am not a fan of QCTPs. I am a cheapskate! But I do have 5

Hi Steve, The tangential has steeper than normal back and side rake - this causes it to cut more easily (using less power) than regular tools but also causes self-feeding on material like brass and

G'day Rance. If Andy is right regarding the purpose of your mystery screw then my advice differ from his! This screw is important unless you want your tail stock to crash to the floor and break the

I happened to see this on ebay when looking for something else. (I have no connection with this item). The title says 7 manuals, but it seems there are 8.

John I had the pleasure of building a Tangential cutter based on the description on your web site. While it's not much for working in brass, I find it winds up mounted on my QCTP far more often than

I have seen a few sites, guys cutting and adding a bed extention. I can't find my bookmarks right now, I'll keep looking. I think I would upgrade to a 8X or 9X if I needed a longer bed than 14 inches.
