Re: Threading question
There are a gaggle of odd ball threads it might be, it's close to an M4 x 0.75 (M 0.75 corresponds to 33 3/4 tpi) which isn't a common thread either!

Contact the shipping company at once and make a claim against their insurance. Sounds like the whole machine should be replaced for you. If you delay or throw away packaging material, your claim will

Re: Threading question
Most cleaning rods use an 8-32 thread if they are greater than .22 caliber.? For .17 and .20, you need a 5-32 thread. -rw ________________________________ To: 7x12minilathe@... Cc: Norm

Re: Damaged compound
Andrew, I went down to the shop and looked at mine. The bolt threads in almost 9 threads, so if you still have 4-5 threads left, that might do it. Also a stud and nut would take some of the guess work

Re: Damaged compound
Hi Andrew, If you only pulled a few threads from the compound, there may be several more usable threads left. If so, get a longer bolt and cut it a 1/16" or so shy of bottoming out in the hole, but

Re: Damaged compound
Hello Andrew, It sounds like your parting tool was set too low on the work and was being pulled in and under the work putting excessive stress on the tool post bolt. The parting tool needs to be set

Re: Damaged compound
Generally you do the insert yourself. Do you have a drill press or mill? There's various types of inserts, you might be able to get by with a press fit one from the bottom. Something like this (if

Re: Damaged compound
I was thinking of seeing if a "helicoil" could work. Of course where do I get it done? More importantly, does the toolpost bolt have to be absolutely square to the surface? Cheers, Andrew

If I remember right from my mechanical engineering classes two full threads of a bolt *should* be all you need. That's assuming the bolt and nut are cut to spec out of proper materials. Other than
