3 in 1 thread chaser

[hughie]

Due to the interest in thread chaser I have posted this info along with its price and availability.

Its a 3 in 1, that is, it will do both internal and external threads on the one tool. Also I have added an extra feature of a concave cut to the end of the chasing head. This is to allow for any trimming of the threads at completion or to add extra lead in.

Dimensions:
Chasing head 10tpi, 15mm long
shank 12mm dia x 70mm
Safety flange 20mm dia
Tang 10mm x 70mm

Hardened to a minimum of 60 Rockwell C and comes with a Stainless steel ferrule. But no handle :C this keeps the cost down. :U

The pics are of the chaser in its raw state prior to heat treating or sharpening. So don't worry about the nicks and dings etc. :U

I am selling the chaser at $45AUD [ $40USD ] plus postage. All postage unless requested other wise will be airmail. I am using PayPal as the preferred method of payment. The lead time is about four weeks to posting at this stage.

If your interested PM me with your email address, snail mail details etc.

Sorry to butt in but I guess the people looking here will know the answer. How do you regulate the pitch of the thread with a thread chaser? I have only used a metal lathe and it was done with the feed mechanism. Just asking as I am curious, don't waste too much time on the answer as I do not have a wood lathe and will not be able to put it into practice.

Because we are moving the Workshop to new premises and the fact that most of the gear wont be hooked up till the New Year. :~ grrrgh
I wont be able to supply any thread chasers till then.

All orders placed last week [up and including to Friday 23rd Nov.] will fulfilled and should be in the post late this week or early next week.

Apologies to those who must wait.

Hughie,
Received my thread chaser today. That was quick! It looks good and I will put on a handle as soon as I finish doing extensions to my son's house. I'm really feeling my age now especially as its 35 degrees and 99% up here in Darwin.
Many thanks again
Cheers
Jeff

Looks great hughie.. Had an hour free to put a handle on it but haven't taken it for a spin yet.

I really have to find a box for it so it doesn't end up rolling around with the rest of my old junkers.

Thanks again mate.. I'll report back when I've had a good play.

Hint: find a short length of hose that'll slip over the end (when flattened) as a protective cover.

I'm currently searching for assorted sizes to protect my turning tools when travelling around...

Thanks hughie, wen for something different, not sure if its a looker but it feels great in the hand.

[dai sensei]

I got mine today thanks Hughie :2tsup:

It will take a while before I can turn a handle, probably even longer to use it :rolleyes:, but at least I can now say I have one :cool:

[DJ’s Timber]

Can't wait till I get mine :U, will have to take it for a spin at the Xmas BBQ Turnfest in a couple of weeks when everyone is here :2tsup:

[Cliff Rogers]

I thought I had posted a note here but I can't see it. :?

[Speanwoody]

[China]

Hughie thread chaser has arrived, looks good will have to wait until after christmas to try it, shed is getting major reworkin gand it has no volts as yet so nothing works unless I spin it by hand

[nfld steve]

Hi guys,this is a tool that could be used to thread inside and outside threads on a box or whatever?Am I right??lol.
How is it used?In a brief "nutshell" of a story.I'm kinda interested in it,actually I'm really interested in it.
If I got one,it'ld be in the New Year because of frivalous spending on my part,lol,for gifts.But in the new year I'm bringing my 14" Delta into my basement workshop,when I bet a chip collector,and I'm going to be doing alot of turning.
It's in my barn now,and for example,it's -15 this morning,and I havn't got a woodtove hooked up out there yet,need a chimney,,lees smoke that way I think.lol.
Anyway,I'ld appreciate any info on it,how it works,etc.
I think I have a general idea,but it'ld be great to hear from you guys.
Thanks in advance,and Merry Christmas!!!!Steve from Newfoundland.:D

Steve,

Have a look at this post and scroll down to message 4 click on the link. It will take you to Robert Sorby site there is a pdf file you can down load read at your leisure.

It has, what I believe, one of the best explanations of thread chasing. The only difference is they will sell you two tools,I have just combined them and sell em cheaper..:U other wise the method of use is exactly them same.

Failing that google Fred Holder for another very description of thread chasing.

Hi Hughie

The chaser arrived in todays mail.

I am very impressed with the quality, the new ones look every bit as good as the first batch, well done on your part. :2tsup:

The challenge now is for me to do it justice.

I thank you for your time and trouble.

Kind regards

Fred.

Fred,

Your positive comments are greatly appreciated, thanks
