Building A Wooden Lathe

Lathe Project

Another way of cutting threads on a lathe is with a geometric die head. This uses 4 cutters and opens when the desired thread depth is met. This tool take a a little bit to set up but once it is, you can cut repeatable threads fast and easily. This is a 6” long 3/8-16 thread for the forged C-Clamp I made a while back. #lathe #thread #machinist @igchipoftheweek #handmade #makeeverything #make #maker #steel #clamp #satisfying | Make Everything | Facebook
