Sam, Very timely as I purchase a set of thread chasing tools today. Thanks Alan Stratton

I grew up in Summit county. I went to Green high school. I used to go to the first Hartville tool in the early 70's. it is amazing. I have gotten 3 sets of chaser from Hartville Tool. Thanks Sam

Great video as always, I've got a set of thread tools but haven't drummed up the guts to try it yet .. but now I will start with the candle .. and the pvc pipes .. great tip ..thanks

I have never gotten hold of pear wood. I hear it is good. Thanks Sam

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Sam, I should have some time next month to practice with the set I have. Take care, Carl

What kind of lathe do you have? I have chased at 500 rpm just to see if I could do it. It is possible but it helps if one can chase threads to begin with. I think 400 is reasonable to learn at Sam

Thanks Sam

Hey Sam! Thanks for an inspiring video with written clarification of raw materials. / Hanne Petersen

There is a difference in the shape of each tool. I go for chasers with a really short handle. The Sorby chasers work OK but the handle is too long. I like crown cause it is the cheapest chaser I have found. Let me know what you decide.

If you live where it is local pear makes great wood for practice... as well as real projects. I've used it to make a recorder (instrument) and it is nice and hard but cuts very smoothly.

Will pvc piping threading will that cause harm to your tool long-term? Just wondering matey before attempt it . Thanks matey

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Mumma Toni No, I can't see it doing any harm. Sam

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Go for it.....Sam

Great video. Don't know why I keep watching thread chasing videos, though. Thread chasing tools seem over priced and I dont think my lathe will run slow enough for it even if I splurged and bought a set.

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Good luck.. Sam
