I want to thank those that has made the understanding of threading more easy, it took 15-20 tries to get what you see in the picture, the two on the left was turned with the 6 inch Atlas that I have and the other two was with the 14X40 Harbor Freight, learned something about the HF, you have to move the compound in to get the cut, if I move the cross slide in it makes threads that have the angle on one side only, is it me or is that they way it is on that kind of machine, still learning, don't think I will ever get to where some of you fellows are, maybe if I live to be 300 years old, thanks again for the threading tips, Lathe Nut
