Re: Internal Threading - Compound Setup

GP,
I'm with you, I'd run reverse no problem.?
Jody,?
First time threading? Do you have a way to check the internal thread?
Might make the first try making a male plug gage if the piece it's supposed to fit is not practical to try. Do you have a set of thread wires and a 1-2 micrometer?
If it's not a thru thread are you going to an undercut? Makes life easier as well as threading on the way out to avoid a crash.?
If you have a micrometer stop you could use that as a start point but only while? threading "out". Set up an indicator if you decide to go in.
Set compound a little shy of 30¡ã, not real important as long as your tool is ground and oriented properly.??
Dave?
Here's a pic of orientation I would use, obviously with a threading tool and a piece with a hole in it! Illustration only.

In 54 years I had never had a threaded on chuck come loose. Don't worry if you put the chuck on properly meaning when you get to the last 1/4 turn you give it a hard spin so you can hear a click the chuck is on it will not come loose

Thanks
Andrei,I'm actually subscribed to his channel. He
is good and goes a bit fast for me sometimes.
This is his external thread video but he also has
an internal thread video.
If I remember correctly, he starts the cutter in
the bore, runs in reverse and the feed comes out of the bore
from left to right.
I'm a little nervous doing it this way
because of the chuck on the Atlas being threaded
on.-Jody

Joe Pieczinski, a great YouTube machinist with loads of
skill has done that on a larger lathe, but it should work
just fine unless you are trying to take 3/8 DOC. Here is the

?

So I'm going to be doing some internal threading
here in the next week or so hopefully.?




initially I was thinking of running in reverse and start the
cutting from down inside the bore and come out.?
Considering the chuck is threaded on, I'm rethinking
this.?


Although on a 1 1/2" bore, will the cutting forces
really be high enough with a 3/4" moment arm (from the
spindle axis) to unwind the chuck?? Probably not.?


I'd be curious if anybody has done this in reverse.?
Now if it was on a 4" ID, it would be a definite no for
me to do it this way because the cutting forces would be
acting 2" away from the spindle axis and have a larger
moment arm to create higher torque to
unwind the chuck.



Anyway, being this is my 1st time doing threading, I
don't want to risk it so I will be staying in forward.



Question for running in forward direction:

What compound setup do you guys like to use??

????? -29-30 deg compound with compound axis pointing
away from head stock (backwards to how you would have it for
turning)? I saw on Youtube "Tom's Techniques"
channel do this.

????? - Or set compound on 29 - 30 deg conventional
direction and flip cutter upside down and cut the back side
feeding compound in with each pass.?




Thanks for any pointers and help,

Jody
