Did I make a left hand thread

[Arnak]

Hi Folks,

I think I inadvertently made a left hand internal thread.:wall:

I had the lathe turning as normal in the anti-clockwise direction and the carriage set to run from left to right to cut from the inside out.

The threading tool was cutting on the inside nearest the operator not upside down on the far wall.

Did this create a left hand internal thread. as I can't tell from looking at the thread.

Hi Folks,

Oh, ***** , to late to make the shaft to suit I already made it and wondered why it didn't fit.:hDe:

Well I suppose to look on the bright side I do now know haw to make a left hand thread....
