I'm trying to cut a thread on a 1/4" 304 stainless pipe. The pipe is an odd length at about 2-3/4" but quite short.
I've chucked it up in a 3-jaw chuck and set the back gear to the slowest speed.
I've managed to cut a thread that is about 1/4" long. But at this point the pipe is now spinning in the chuck and becoming quite galled. I've tightened the chuck heavily without success. I need to get the thread to at least 1/2" long.
What would you do to keep the pipe clamped in the chuck?
