    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

    Default me too

    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...

    Great job on the handle.

    I got mine today thanks Hughie

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

    Default Maybe a silly question

    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.

    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.. other wise the method of use is exactly them same.

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

    Default I have a 3 in 1 thread chaser

    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.

    The challenge now is for me to do it justice.

    I thank you for your time and trouble.

    Kind regards

    Fred.
