Many years ago I had a moment of distraction when cutting threads and crashed a lathe whilst the ship was in the middle of the pacific, needless to say the CE was not best pleased. A few weeks later he showed me the safe way to cut a thread. I have been using it ever since. I found this the other day and I thought you may find it of interest.
Fine for the lathe's native threads, I suppose, but disengaging the leadscrew WILL put it out of sync' if you're e.g. cutting metric on an Imperial machine
