Thanks GP,
With the responses and advice from? you and Dave I see the simplicity of using the same method of threading both internal and external.? The only difference is to swing the compound to the opposite 30 deg.?
Thanks for the clarifications and advice.? Like I mentioned earlier, swinging the compound to the opposite 30deg (backwards) to what I'm normally used to, felt strange so I was grasping for another setup that fit my eye better.? This just added unneccessary complexity to a relatively straight forward procedure.?
If cutting internal threads on a large ID I can see the benefits of needing to cut on the backside of the work piece with the compound set at the usual 30deg and feed it into the bore.? But for my 1.5" ID, I need to keep it simple....stupid.
Thanks guys, I might have a few more questions as I get deeper into this.
