Hi Folks- not necessarily PM specific, but... I am starting to get into threading on on my lathe- This is all fairly new to me. Unfortunately, the project that I have on the lathe now requires a 11.5 TPI internal thread. I am planning on using 12 based on the fact that the PM won’t do 11.5 and leaving it a bit loose- it’s for a garden hose adapter so shouldn’t be an issue. I will be threading to a shoulder so I want to do it in reverse and thread towards the tailstock. Here is the piece I can’t seem to wrap my head around- If I run the tool on the backside, right side up with the feed headed towards the tailstock, will I still be cutting right hand threads. I plan on turning the compound 29ish degrees the opposite way from regular threading to cut on the leading face.
Am I missing anything? Thanks!
