Hi all,
I'm a very new member but thought you might like to hear about an interesting new tool that will be on the market soon.
About 18 years ago, I devised a piece of kit for cutting threads on turned wood, boxes & the like, after seeing a photo of the old Carbatec Threadmaster in a woodworking magazine. It was made up of old lathe parts & with the right cutter, would cut internal & external threads from 1" up to 4" or even 5" diameter.
Recently, I bought another tool from someone in the North of England & happened to tell them about it. After several emails they are going to make a small version which fits into the tool stem holder. It's a good little device, which obviates the need to use hand thread chasers. I believe you may see it on eBay in the not too distant future. Charley, I hope you won't treat this as an advertisement, it's intended to make people aware of this device as at the present time I don't believe there is anything like it in the UK.
