"I'm not the first guy to do this". Stefan, by now I would think just about anything that could be done with a manual machine has been done. IMO the most impressive things done on manual machines are turbine impellers that were done pre cnc. And the interrupted threads on the breaches of large naval rifles. Given the pressures they had to withstand they had to be absolutely perfect. Now if you had a way to run your cross slide at the proper ratio you could make chuck spirals. And I know they had set-ups to do that on manual lathes. Setting the router at the center of the included angle you could also cut buttress type threads. Not germane to threadmilling but in the past I experimented with making roughing mill cutters out of taps. Grind a relief angle on the top of the teeth that gives a flat wide enough that all the flats are longer than your taps pitch. Grind a secondary relief angle. Works fine on softer materials. Not so much on tool steels. I worked with some machinists from Germany and they told me that in the 50s they used to have to make end mills out of twist drills.

By using this same router setup with 2 flute, carbide wood-routing bits, you can make amazingly-accurate lathe cuts and deep grooves in rubber and soft urethane bars. I've used this on motor mounts and suspension bushings etc. The trick is using compressed air for cooling along with a vacuum cleaner. Love the video!

Hi Stefan. Nice to see the solution to a very old problem for which the model engineer's Guru George Thomas had a much more complex solution. Folks, when you slit into a previously bored hole there is a tendency for the bore to close in. Stefan's jack screw is a very simple and elegant solution. BobUK.

Wonderful video. Back in the time frame 1880 (and even before that) when electric motors were rare or unavailable there was the English Holzapffel ornamental lathe company .The double ff is no typo. The lathes were foot-powered. They had all kinds of attachments and extra-axis devices. Among the things they would do is mill threads. They would also allow you to e.g checker-pattern a piece or inscribe all kinds of patterns on work. The last Holzappfel was sold in 1920 or so. If you look under "ornamental turning"you will find quite a lot of info.

In my father's shop back in the seventies we used to do the final grind on hardened threads with a diamond embedded linen phenolic wheel mounted on a tool post grinder. It wouldn't take much off but it made the threads extremely slick. It was set up much like what you're doing except the cutter and/or lap was mounted on a mandrel. The angle could also be adjusted for clearance on larger threads by tilting the spindle up and down in the front. Fun stuff! Thanks for the video!

Yes the jack screw a great idea. It's also a good technique for mounting one plate to another with some degree of adjustability to allow them to be co-planar (e.g. DRO scale mounting, to a casting). A jack screw plus a tension screw in 3+ corners allows for a lot of freedom of adjustment.

Putting a router on a lathe's toolpost as a milling attachment is a neat trick. A homemade 4-flute 2mm thread mill bit that doesn't break without magnification is really impressive. I would stick with single flute D-bits below 4mm. I've been studying threads for 50 years since I worked on Brantley Helicopter rotor parts with old 4A & 4B threads called out on some of the rotor drawings. That is tighter 3A & 3B but not an interference fit. The reason for the radius at the root of the thread and the tread relief is to prevent stress concentration. We may worry too much about thread forms. Mauser rifles all were made with Whitworth (58-degree) threads, usually 12 TPI. In the US, we rebarrel them with barrels having 60-degree threads almost every time. They shoot the same no matter the barrel thread.

I soak up everything you tell us, Stefan and, if I can't apply it straight away, I store it for future use. One thing though which I have found with thread milling tools, is they generate a different form to the shape of the cutter. It's the combination of the tool rotating on an axis parallel to the work piece's axis but interpolating a spiral. The front of the cutter generates a different flank angle. The true thread form should be normal to the helix angle of the thread so the form of a thread milling tool really needs to be modified to take this into account. The trailing side of the form is fine as it is in clearance but the leading side will back cut the flank to form an angle larger than required and the radius will also be generated larger. For threads which are large compared with the diameter of the tool, this is negligible but for very small threads relative to the size of the cutter, it is significant. I have a thread milling cutter for an M2.0 thread which has an OD of Ø1.6mm (the tapping size for the thread!) which will cut a thread either tight (crest of screw same size as major diameter of ID thread) or it's too loose because the female thread form is too wide. Are you able to CAD model a cutter which will generate the correct form when interpolating a helix?

What a great video. I just have to make one. One thing that I, along with many others I suspect, have trouble with is cutting off. It seems to me that a small assortment of endmills would turn this tool into an almost perfect cutoff tool. Perhaps even a slitting saw could be used in it for cutting off. If I make one I think I will use a reversible motor for maximum versatility. I think this could be a very versatile tool to have at the lathe.

I just ran 24 parts that needed a 3/4”-32 internal thread to the bottom of the bore. Of course not on a manual machine. But it worked beautifully. Now I’m inspired to try milling trapezoidal left and right hand threads for a self centering vise build. Already located the thread milling cutter. This will also allow any thread pitch within reason. So a double start thread should be doable.

I have both high quality optical microscopes and cheap video scopes. I put a video scope with built in display (about $49 if I recall) on a magnetic indicator base. I use it in my Emco super-11 and my Hardinge toolroom lathe. It gives a great view of cutter action if you need it. It is also is useful on the mill too. While the quality is not like a Leica scope it does keep your face away from the action. Don't under rate the cheap scope it works and other can see it. Great for demos. I mounted a Dremel moto-tool on my Emco 30 years ago to spin and abrasive disc to cut Hastaloy X . I also had an air turbine with a multistage planetary to spin a slitting saw for screwdriver slots on a homemade gang tool CNC lathe. I also used a full speed turbine (50K or so) to spin very small PCB drills on the gang lathe too. By the way Robin mispronounces Hardinge. He says Harding instead of Hardinge. I noticed you have adopted that too. The correct pronunciation ends with a sound like Hinge (like door hinge) but without the H sound. Please take no offense your English and your videos are excellent. I watch them all. JY

There was a study done recently regarding the life of a file used going in both directions vs lifting on the return stroke. The outcome was that there was very little or no difference in the wear on the file for either technique. I don’t remember where I saw this, but a quick search should bring it up. I have been deburring and chamfering for over 60 years and my files have shown no evidence of deterioration. I will say though, that they were never used on hard surfaces, which would probably dull them no matter the direction of application.

You can also make a double direction thread - milling it out in one direction, then reversing feed/spindle direction and milling a left hand thread over it. Or using an indexing plate to make a spline with almost no leadout like a staggertooth cutter would leave. Or something really crazy like offsetting the live tooling above the work and at an angle on the compound to make really weird looking threads or decorative finishes or compound angles like fins on an impeller.

We always have minor issues with threadmills and threading in general when our comes to fit. Obviously there is a standard calculation for working out the root radius. But most of our tools are standard 0.4 rad (thread mills). This isn’t a massive deal however just means normally you’d go abit deeper if the tool allows. M36-M120 this is pretty apparent.

Nice little experiment Stefan. It would be an easy task to use an ER 16 collet chuck with a long shank (flea bay is full of them) and toothed belt drive it with a low kv BLDC motor for more torque and larger tools. There must be countless cordless drills out there with a blown speed control. No problem just use an RC speed controller and pulse generator. The router motor definitely has its limitations with it's extreme speed making HSS tooling all but unusable except for very small tools.

I have been doing milling on my lathe for a while now and the first thing you need is a spindle indexing disc and a brake acting directly on the spindle axis. I usually index the chuck by jamming the feed gear that's 1:1 to the spindle with a pin and that way I do keyways, holes, steps and I even made the 60 position axial ratchet for my Tripan toolpost using this method. Don't forget that you can use the compound to mill at an angle (eg to make an insert cutter) or put it above or below centerline using the qctp (usually to sidemill a surface that is on centerline) essentially utilizing it as a limited travel vertical milling attachement (you can't feed upwards though).

@@StefanGotteswinter The mill I work with is a very heavy to move around and setting it up is a real hassle. Being able to cut a keyway in 5 minutes is such a delight for me!

When you want to cut a long pitch like an oil groove on a centre lathe, you can switch gears around but you have to go to the trouble of driving the lathe via the leadscrew. in other words, if you had a reduction unit lying about and you chain drive the leadscrew from the tailstock end it works fine.

Great instructional video. Question; why not stone a small radius on the cutter tips to create a perfectly shaped thread?

It strikes me that it would be possible to use a bottoming tap as a cutter, although it might require a slight regrind on the cutting side of the flutes. Another possibility would be making a scroll for a lathe chuck if you had an accurate and controllable drive on your compound. Another use would be trepanning plates since breaking a cutter would be less likely that breaking a trepanning tool. You could also use a form tool to give your plate a radius finished edge. Cutting Acme thread both inside and out would be a breeze. It opens up a lot of new ways of doing things.

Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge and experiences, I really appreciate your effort and wish you success and happiness in your endeavors. Question: if you were starting over today, would you use a larger size Multifix or Tripan tool holder given your experience with the solid tool post?

I did something similar with a die grinder but my problem was cutting very large threads. My lathe is too small to use some of the really big dies I have like 2" x 4.5 tpi but I found that if I roughed the threads out first, I could finish them with the die. Equally (i haven't tried this) it would also let you finish the thread form with a single point tool or, if you wanted to be flash, a grinding stone with the correct form.

The router in radial mode could also be used to cut a keyway if there is a spindle brake that can be locked on.

You can also (WITH GUARDING, though you already have that) put a grinding wheel into the live spindle, and do cylindrical grinding with the lathe. You can certainly get some nice surface finishes with that. Not "air bearing straight off the machine" like Dan Gelbart's lathe/grinder, but probably quite nice.

Always informative and educational, thanks. I was really expecting to see that first cutter flex more. Is that router sealed? Are you taking precautions to keep those tiny chips out of the brushes?

@StefanGotteswinter 4 жыл бұрын
Hi James, No, the router is not sealed - But I run the same one in my chamfer-mill where its showered in metall chips, never had an issue. I guess the motor fan is powerfull enough to keep everything out.

@@StefanGotteswinter The setup could be a real time saver on larger pitches. I make a regular parts in aluminium with 75 x 3mm pitch. There is a matching part with internal threads. This could really speed that process up.
