That's all good info, but how do I thread mill on a manual machine? I bet there are quite a few people on rcm that have cnc mills. Might be a converted bridgeport or X3 type machine. Perfectly on topic Bob. Wes |

I've only seen one, on ebay, but it was a sort of rotary table combined with ground thread leads sort of like a Hardinge chucker would use for the threading attachment. I thought it was pretty slick and would have bid if the price stayed low, just because I thought it was such a neat tool. Don't recall the manufacturer name, but yes Virginia, with the right tooling, you can thread mill on a manual mill! Jon |
