Demo of my recently developed automatic retract threading tool. This tool uses standard 16ER-AG60 threading inserts which will cut from 8 to 48 threads per inch. It is triggered by a stop fixed to the lathe bed.

I like that you can set it to retract in the same place with each pass ... would be good on a manual lathe and have no run out groove.

To get a sense of scale from the video, is the square threading insert holder 16mm square, appears off the shelf (SER1616, SER1212 would be the other guess if 12mm square)? I assume the only modification was maybe cutting it's length shorter. The eccentric offset appears to be ~.2inches, is that about right? Anything special about the shape of the cam, or is it just circular? Getting the spring force so it has enough to drive the eccentric cam once it's trigger to eject the cutting tool quick. I was just threading on my lathe this evening, and this would be handy.
@phineasj.whoopee33017 ай бұрын
Yes, SER1616 threading tool, shank shortened and modified to fit within the confines of a std. AXA holder (which is the current design). Cam is circular and .06" eccentric, providing 1/8" retraction.

@@phineasj.whoopee3301 The only tool holders like the one shown in your video, that I've seen, hold onto cutoff blades. These fit in the AXA holders or turret holder. The AXA holders to me all have the V way machined for the quick change. If there was black oxide on the one in your video, you machined it all away. But I'm thinking you made that part from some solid stock. Interesting that just a simple eccentric with spring force will eject with no issues. I would have thought an "egg" shaped cam sort would be needed. I had to modify my AXA holder a few months ago for a SER2020 threading holder. I needed it for my small lathe (10x24), where I purchased it for my larger lathe (18x40). They are inexpensive from eBay China sellers. I'll have to procure one. I think I could modify one of the AXA holders, and remove the one set screw to the rear to put the eccentric shaft through. Thanks for showing this design!

Look's like it eats a little more each pass, do you estimate a projection from the progressive advancment of cuts to final thread distance/length vs. number of required passes before you start? Looks like you picked up about a thread length of distance/thread length through the process.

I am advancing the compound, which is set at the traditional 29.5°. The single depth of 8 tpi is .080 in, so the tool advances approx. .046 in. along the lathe axis. This is less than half a thread, but can be important if you're brave enough to work that close to a shoulder.

Yes, I've seen others that were much more complicated. My designs are always Stupidly Simple. I'm not quite clear on your question. In this tool, the slot for the threading tool is (more or less) at the same height as the tang the mounts in the AXA tool holder. More recently, I have been modifying standard AXA (250-100) tool holders.

Does it also disengage the half-nut or are you doing that off camera? For a long time I was paranoid about cutting threads on my lathe; so much so that I made a hand-crank that I would stick into the tail end of my spindle bore and cut threads by manually turning that crank-handle. Then I learned how to cut thread from left to right or, in reverse and the pucker factor just went away.

Thanks for the suggestion. Establishing the relationship between the trip lever, cam and reset lever gets complicated when they are not 180°. Trying to keep this thing as stupidly simple as possible. I will give it some thought.
@phineasj.whoopee33016 ай бұрын
Your suggestion got me thinking. The reset lever and cam are timed by a flat on the shaft. On the AXA, and to a lesser degree the BXA, the height adjusting screw interfered with full rotation. A slight bend in the reset lever solved that problem and moved the end out even with the edge of the body. Thanks.

It's not threading all the way to the shoulder, so as far as the amount of motions necessary to do the job, it is really not any better than stopping the feed by hand. The motor is not reversing, so the operator is still winding the carriage back by hand and advancing the compound. Cast iron and brass/bronze throw off a lot of grit, which could find its way into the mechanism.
@plalonde26 ай бұрын
I wouldn't say so. If you're using the compound to come in on the thread at 60 degrees this gadget keeps you from having to touch your cross-slide at all. You just advance the compound each pass.
