Hello,
I have only manual machines but have been looking at and trying to come up with ideas on how to use milling thread cutters in ways they were not designed to be used other than as a chaser.
Maybe a hobb for a wheel? Wheel would need to be driven though.
Given that milled threads are superior to cut threads is there a genius out there that can come up with a way to turn the cutter in an indexed way in relation to lead feed? Aduino?
Something like the above could also be used on a manual mill, mill/drill for gear making.
I would be very interested to hear others views on this subject.
