It s a practice mostly done in North America it seems. Personally I prefer it for it s one egde kind of contact at the anywhere in between 29 and 30 degrees bit other reasons more so.
It s how I was taught first off. I can get in a rythym with the two handles to work with and as stated earlier it gives me a chance to clean a ragged thread or something by infeeding with the crosslide for a .001" or less changing the position of the cutting tool laterly somewhat.
Slow is safe but for finish at times not too good so with this I have found it gives me a chance to clean them up a bit.
You Don t need no stinking dro either! I do like mksj set up though! Still wizardry for me. Set your handle with the weight on the right side. Zero out and from here on my hands stay on two of three things. My dials and the split nut Or machine is not spinning as rule to myself when threading.
