Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for the help to understand thread cutting better, I have tried but it looked more like a meat grinder had been on the metal, it has been something that I have avoided, that sure limits one to what can be done, I would love to be good as some of you fellows are, I have only been at it 4-5 years and it after hours, after the honey do's, soon as I can get in the shop will do some thread cutting and post the pic if it is good, thanks again, been down loading all I can get and the projects also, I will get there, practice, practice, take care, Lathe Nut
