Has anyone heard of someone making mods to a DV59 so they can turn an
occasional unusual thread?
I'm pondering designing an easily attachable/removable add-on so I can
do it. I know that for doing lots of threading it would make more
sense to get a different lathe, but I might do this anyway just to
have a bizarre project.

Anyone care to dissuade me or point to an existing solution?

Thanks

Sounds like this may be an item to investigate.

DV-59 is partway down.

I have 2 of them.

Also a TFB for sale if anyone is interested. Same page
