bogs u got me thinking how i can get a brake on my lathe now. if any body has ideas im open my lathe is 8 x 12 harbor stuff
 
Thought I would jump back on this thread. I built this 3-4 months ago now and never really got a chance to try it. Today I was finishing up some new tool holders and decided to tool them all up and get them set on center. I pulled all the holders off the shelf (I think 12 of them now) and found this, got all the others set up and thought I would give this a good try out. I set up for a fine thread 40 TPI. Hope the pic will show what a nice easy job that tool made it.
