Parting
Here we show something you should never try at home. This is a piece of square section steel in a 3-jaw chuck. The lathe is set at a rapid 1,200 rpm and you can see the results. Don’t try this, but it does give you an impression of the skill of the operator.
Setting up to thread
Here is one of our qualified machinists setting up a lathe for threading.
Threading
Here is the second cut of what will turn out to be a perfect coarse thread. You can learn to do this at MGIS.
