i´m making a radius tip for a plunge indicator. part one don´t mind the end where i say i am 12. someone said my hands looked like i am 35 and insisted that i was faking it. it was on a comment on this old tony´s video. sorry about the video quality it should be better in part 2
With a die. It was a m3x0.5 on an imperial indicator. the lathe has no lead screw or power feed. just a second op lathe.Hey, that's what I looked like at 35 - braces and all!
I couldn't hear your narration (NOT 35 any more!), but is the tip the standard 4-48 TPI? That's very tough to cut with a die - the forces required are usually more than the stock can take. How did you cut the thread in the end? Single point?
