ah work and distractions set in ....all ready to start cutting the internal threads but i thought id better do some learning first so i dont stuff it up still making internal thread tool and doing some reading up on screwcutting bought a book today " scew cutting in the lathe " heaps of reading to do " .. got a bigger motor now with forward and reverse ( no thread dial indicator so i have to use reverse )
and it was bluddy hot under the tin roof today; its all fun so far

I know you asked a question in another post about Screw Cutting,was this in regards to your Internal thread.
If it was and if this Thread is for your Chuck Back Plate my advise would be to cut the Thread Without Offsetting your Compound but the choice is yours.
