With setting up the machine for threading. Specifically, with marking the chuck, bed, etc, so that after making a cut, I can get set up again for making another cut. I remember how to set up the threading tool (I'm also going to be doing some inside threads in 4130 1.5" tube, using a steady-rest), setting the compound (is it 30 or 60 degrees?), hand-turning everything back, then going back to where the cross-slide was, but coming in on the compound by a certain distance (how is that best determined?) locking the cross-nut once everything is realigned, and going again until the tool reaches the relief cut. I could probably do this on a newer gear-head with a dial pretty easily, but I just can't remember how it all goes with this. Thanks!
