[@cirrusdesigngroup]

Thanks so much for the help I appreciate you

[@PHIL_S]

I just bought this 3 days ago -this video could not have been more timely - Sam thanks for all you do for us

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Your videos inspired me to start thread chasing myself! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@claytonryder7948]

You probably dont care but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all the latest movies on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend during the lockdown xD

[@jadielabdiel5921]

@Clayton Ryder yea, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself :D

[@glencrandall7051]

Very good review Sam. I am not doing any threaded boxes yet but this video certainly provides very good information for consideration when I do. Thank you for sharing. Stay healthy Sam.

[@gasmandl]

My Carter and son thread chaser arrived today. And went straight to the lathe and impressed me right out of the gate. Made perfect threads on the first try. Very good how to video. Thank you Sam!!

[@joecrocker8930]

You've convinced me! The Carter tool looks like just what the doctor ordered. Great job Sam.

[@jontoolman]

Great demo. I am just considering purchasing a chaser set. Ghank you.

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Jon, Let me know if you need any help or if you have questions. Sam

[@czellner5894]

From one old Hippy to another, Groovy Man! Nice one Sam. Be safe and healthy, Charlie

[@josephwise485]

I will have to check out more videos on how you determine the sizes needed for threading wood. Thanks for the demo.

[@renl445]

Excellent thank you 👏👏👏👏👏

[@karlsangree4679]

I just purchased one based on your recommendation... I hope you're right! lol

[@dtork47]

Very helpful Sam, love my Carter tools!

[@kenvasko2285]

Thanks buddy. Good "review".

[@ZacHiggins]

Great review/overview Sam! That's a really cool tool, C&S makes some great stuff. Might need to pick one of those up and give chasing a shot finally. Been itching to give it a go for years having been introduced to it in your videos, thanks for introducing me to it!

[@oldgeezer1746]

The advantage I have found with the armrest tool is you have less temptation to push the tool into the wood and a better chance of allowing the threads to pull themselves.

[@WOODTURNINGBYBRANDSTRUP]

Great Video, thank you for sharing, and shoving how it is done 😀

[@MichaelCraig-bi3wj]

Now you have me hooked, going to buy some thread chasers!

[@MANJITSINGH-ko2oi]

Wow that's a good tool. thanks for sharing. sam.

[@Kyndalmccaleb7635]

Great video Sam! I’ll be purchasing one. Thanks

[@davidqualls7651]

This looks like a go to tool I can handle. I watched your demo in KC. It looked too difficult with the extra tool. Thanks

[@marshallgorrow5543]

Sam, this is an excellent review. If I didn't already have a 16TPI set, I could be tempted.

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Wow great video very nice review thread chaser

[@LewisKauffman]

Thanks for the great video

[@davidmorgan7522]

Great review Sam. Hopefully, C&S will make that tool in a different configuration, then I'll get that one! Thanks! Take care, Dave

[@tomcoker9882]

Don’t think I’ll run out and replace my two piece set, but if they make another TPI in this style tool, then I would consider getting one. Thanks for the review. Cheers, Tom

[@carolriley8472]

Looks pretty good to me!

[@yuvallahav]

Fantastic review, I really want to get into thread chasing, but I'm still stuck with a lathe that goes 600 rpm at the lowest...

[@Pato290763]

Hello! very interesting and illustrative. Could you tell me what the thickness of the blade is?Many thanks!!

[@dustycornerscalgary2208]

Hi Sam I have ordered a thread chaser by Robert Sorby , can’t wait for its arrival, my question to you is how do you size your parts? Many Thanks for your tutorials ! I’ve learned a lot from you and your fellow u tubers. Good health to you and yours in this trying time

[@themissouriwoodwaltzer7827]

Sam, couldn’t one grind a radius on the existing strait chaser and achieve the same out come?! Just something to think about. :-)

[@TheProjectHelpDesk]

I didn't even know this magix existed!

[@back-corner-turnings]

I like the two in one concept. I haven’t tried thread chasing yet but have been watching videos about it and looking at chasing tools. One thing I have been wondering about is the armrest tool. What would be the advantage of using it over just turning the tool rest perpendicular to the bed? Or is it just a preference thing.

[@cortlandhunt4721]

Nice review Carter’s tool looks like a great option. Do you ever use CA glue to strengthen the threads? 👍🇺🇸

[@kerhst]

Very helpful video, Sam. I am pretty new to turning and don't have much interest in the specialized tools, with the exception of thread chasing. I got a lot of ideas where I want to enclose other things within something I've turned, like Electronics. What I I'm not sure about, before I invest in a set of tools, is how small a person can go with these. Based on your experience, do you believe it would be possible to chase threads into something as small as three quarters of an inch in internal diameter? I realize it can certainly go figure, but I was thinking about creating Harry Potter wands that could be threaded, for battery replacement. Thanks for any advice and for another very helpful video.

[@haroldsworld]

Great video, nubs

[@dannyboy9784]

Hi Sam, great video, I just started thread chasing and my threads shavings don't look anything like yours.....lol....I have the Carter and Son tool...tried sharpening it but not getting nice shavings like in your video....is there a preferred type of wood that I should be using...I tried it on maple....thx

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Danny Yes wood is everything-well almost. But if you don't have a very dense, close grained wood, chasing will be difficult and you won't get those fine, curly shavings. Here is a list of thread chasing wood from my website. www.wyomingwoodturner.com/pdfs/Mywoodlist.pdf Sam

[@paulatkins894]

Those look like 60 degree threads. Is that correct? I thought 45 degrees for wood were stronger.

[@missteeturns]

That looks a good tool but have you come across the Ashley Iles unichaser in the USA. One tool does internal and external threads. I've just purchased one and I'm really getting into chasing threads.

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

I have seen John Berkeley from the UK demonstrate it in a DVD. But I have not seen it here in the U.S. Sam

[@missteeturns]

@@WYOMINGWOODTURNER I've watched many of your videos on thread chasing and learned a lot. I've watched them again & again. Thank you for posting them. The main reason I bought the unichaser was cost. I'm really enjoying thread chasing & just made my first Corian inserts both a female & male one. 🙂

[@rmacbow]

My lathe will only go down to 600 rpm. Should I avoid tthread chasing? Thanks for the video.

[@TheGlenOfDoom]

Sam, what is that tool you are using to hold the END of the threader?

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

This is an armrest tool. It prevents having to move the tool rest perpendicular to the bed ways every time you address end grain or chase the female thread. It is very useful.

[@kennethnuttle7251]

Sam I have been wanting to get into thread chasing. Would you recommend this new tool over or equal to traditional tools?

[@jontoolman]

When shapening ghe thread chaser, which edge do you sharper?

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Jon, you sharpen the top of the tool. You never want to touch the front or the teeth of the tool. Sam

[@dennisbeamish9058]

Hi Sam. Public service comment - please help. Our woodturning community has a high percentage of older people in the more high risk group regarding the Corona virus. You are an extremely prominent and respected turner and "You Tuber". And as such - perhaps you could include in a fresh video - a comment on the value of self-isolation. Your positive comments will go a long way. I hope you do not think this is too forward of me to ask, but your wise words carry a lot of weight. I trust I am not wasting your time with this ask for help. Personal Regards Dennis Beamish Cambridge Ontario Canada

Sam, wash your hands! Beware of the coronavirus.
