I have searched and searched and cannot find a good place to see how threads are cut on the lathe. I attempted a 3/4"-10 this morning and kept cross threading it. I then tried a 1/2"-20 and that did not work either...the nut threads on but very loosley. I think I am setting up the levers correctly, starting the cross slide in the same location, feeding the compound .003 to .005 each time, and the set up is very rigid.
The compound was angled at about 30-degrees as suggested. I am running the lathe on its lowest speed.
I have watched a few videos on threading but none seemed to help. It always looks easier when someone else does it.:wall:
