Max, this comment is being typed right after you showed the big female Red back spider & her small webs. That reminded me that Clorox sprayed from a "spray" bottle that does a decent job of atomizing the bleach dissolves either the spider webs themselves or the "glue" that sticks the web strand together. I learned this back in the early-to-mid '70s when as a kid, I decided to spray the huge mass of spider webs in the window above our washer & dryer in the basement. The spider immediately tried to haul ass off of the web (just a couple of inches), but the web basically disintegrated before she could get off of the web. Mom & Dad bought a lake house a few years later, and one outside wall was *always* covered with webs. Dad & I got a couple of spray bottles full of Clorox and sprayed the entire wall and the spiders never came back, or at least for the next few years before the lake house was sold. Give it a try if you don't want spiders in your spaces.

I learnt from working alongside an experienced turner to keep a corkscrew to deal with the "furballs". His toolbox was a mine of clever little gadgets he'd made for special tasks. "Our generation", in South Africa as well as Australia and New Zealand, learnt to cope with both metric and inches (including British and American varieties) because machinery was imported from all over the world. Measure and check everything!

Bang on with the reverse threading thoughts Max. I was taught in my apprenticeship to always engage the leadscrew at least 1.5 times pitch away from the start of the cut to allow any backlash and play in the gear train, leadscrew, and half nuts to be taken up before the tool enters the cut. You can't do that upside down and in reverse with no undercut. Well done for pointing this out. Nice job on the parts by the way. Cheers, Jon

Hey Max, you hade me clenched up on those dial anomalies, I was afraid you would have to scrap the part there for a second! Good on you for being able to run in those threads on the fly. That red back gave me the hebbie jebbies. We have some nasties here as well. The black widow is very common and all over the place around my neighborhood, and the scorpions are a out as well but they usually stick together in nests or groups were the conditions are ideal, but we do get a few around the house here, usually the barks that can climb walls. I check around the house with a uv light at night every so often, but our exterminator uses an all natural concoction that seems to keep all the critters at bay. Been cathing up on some of your older stuff. Watched the cone clutch series for your son in law last night. Your filming has improved over the years and I appreciate the effort and expense that you have put into it. Great build series, enjoying the tractor parts building a lot. Cheers!

Hi Max, 36:00 looks like HP Sauce to me, lol. Totally agree with your sentiments about thread cutting away from the chuck, can you imagine what would happen if you were threading away from a shoulder and you forgot to reverse the rotation? Nasty. Rocol smells nice, as does WD40, but I'm a junkie so heyho. Glad to see someone threading by feel rather than using thread wires, I hate those buggers. Those holes in the ends of the shafts will be interesting. Best wishes, Mal.

Always very informative, Threading back to front sounds like a great solution, so it is good to hear reasons that might not be true. Always good to have a complete picture. You've made the point in the past that it is important to learn to stop the lathe accurately; if a person develops and maintains that skill, back to front work probably doesn't matter so much anyway. When you were cutting the internal threads, you were feeding in pretty damn fast - that seems like a good example of where those skills really pay off. Back to front seems like a good tool to keep in mind, but not at the expense of fundamental skills. At some time down the road, it would be interesting to hear more details about why the filing technique you used is correct vs the alternative.

I've used the Rocol RTD for machining and hand cutting threads for years now. As it's so expensive I save it for best. We pronounce it Row-Col in the UK, its made not far from where I live. I used the Treffolex at a couple of places I worked at, but never liked the way it helped retain the cuttings, as its a paste. My new to me lathe has a similar electrical "clutch" and footbrake, now I'm getting used to it, I have found it brilliant for thread cutting.

The other big issue with reverse threading is the is no time for any slack in the machine to be taken up before the cut starts, so you'll likely find the thread starts a little off pitch before coming back right. Its a popular method with the hobbyist types as they often have lathes with no clutches or spindle brakes and they often don't know its possible to use the half nuts on non native thread pitches. As my DSG is clutched and braked and has an automatic threading trip it does make threading to a shoulder or blind hole easy.

Thanks for another great video Max. With regards to your "Forward/Reverse", being as it's "electric", could you not simply reverse its switch wiring so the lever then works as you're used to? Given this one is "backwards" to ever other Lathe you've previously worked on, could it be that some previous owner has deliberately changed it to suit themselves? Or does this particular Lathe/model/brand have this "backwards operating" lever as a "standard feature" on their equipment??

Hat's off to you. The lathe work is excellent and makes me remember lots of stuff my father taught me. I did a lot of filing exercises, drill sharpening and many years later it has served me well, restoring shit stuff and repair work when others wanted to trash perfectly fine pieces.

Hi Max. My previous comment seems to have disappeared so I'll post again. I'm not a machinist, never made so much as a shoe box but I do like to watch machinists channels. To solve the problem of the compound slide not keeping the accurate depth of cut numbers, I've seen other machinists using a dial indicator positioned behind the slide so that moving the slide will move the dial. That way you can ignore the dials on the machine and rely on accurate values provided by the precision dial indicator. In my previous post, I added a link to a Blondihacks video showing the technique but I'll leave it off just in case that was the reason my comment disappeared. She zeros the dial indicator when the bit just touches the material so that your DOC is exactly offset from zero.

I have only been around machining for ~15yrs, but have always been impressed with TREFOLEX, when I try other threading lube pastes I’ve broken small taps, the tap seems to bind more suddenly going from hero to zero just as quickly. TREFOLEX for me seems to provide more feedback when tapping, that’s me. Anyway, regarding the comment about carcinogenic when heated, I’ve heard this many times over the years. Reading the SDS / MSDS, it says nothing about being carcinogenic and says it’s not. Has the recipe changed over the years or is it associated with the sulphur smell which for some people is quite offensive, even sickening? It’s definitely a distinctive smell, but even though the SDS states for hand tapping, it doesn’t appear to be heat sensitive regarding turning poisonous or carcinogenic. It’s made of sulphur, talc, vegetable oil, tallow and the ubiquitous “petroleum hydrocarbon”, all but the last one is easy enough to understand. I suppose what chemical concoctions are produced at elevated temperatures can vary on the temp & time ( sulphur compounds, carbon oxides, combinations of them, and an alphabet of hydrocarbon derivative compounds)
