I think you have to serve the lathe to cut the existing thread that you have. Stat the lathe as if you are cutting the thread, then stop the lathe with everything still engaged, then use your compound and cross slides to align the cutting into the existing threads. Then you can run over the existing thread,cleaning it up, or cutting it deeper. Like I say,I think that is the process. I would like to be corrected if I am wrong.
Outstanding…cheers from Florida…Paul
Nice work, the tolerance of the specific job is all that matters, I’m catching up on your vids
You should pull the strings out of your hoodie before they get caught on something, I like your videos
How do you line up the cutting tool with the threads to clean them up?
@@gridironphoto I use my compound..
@Zkutmachine do you index the cutting tool into a thread, then start?
@ no I take depth with cross feed.. engage half nutt.,

Set not serve. Cutting tool not just cutting. Sorry I messed up.
