If one looks at a lathe as a lifelong piece of hobby equipment similiar to a decent table saw, sewing machine etc the lathes in the 10 to 12 inch range are actually pretty cheap. Plus there are always used ones out there. Some are used. Some are used and abused. The machine Quinn has $2400 plus shipping. Myself I'd go for the one that's 8 inches longer for another 100 bucks. This is the kind of money you could easily spend on a weeks vacation somewhere nice. Plus if you find you really do not enjoy making chips you can always sell it pretty easy.

Quinn, You MUST have a background in teaching, yes? I could learn almost anything with you as the teacher it feels like. Whenever I see this much talent being shared with ordinary people (who aren't paying btw) , it makes me wonder about the motivation that inspires it? Regardless, thank you for making these videos! I'm an aspiring hobbyist who frequently struggles with not owning a lathe. Stumbling across your videos has be a game changer for me. Between your teaching and my mechanical curiosity, I think I've just been letting my anxiety about the whole idea keep me from making the purchase. Once again, thank you for taking the time to make these! Certainly worth our time to watch them!!

Hey everyone- yes, I know there is a typo on one of the unit conversions. Save your comments about it. A lot of people are also asking about flipping the compound the other way for cutting left to right. Ideally yes, because then the cutting forces are pushing into the compound backlash direction. In practice it doesn’t matter because the cuts are light and this way the compound can’t hit the chuck. Lastly, I misspoke on the topic of stock diameter for thread peaks vs. flats. You’ll get pointy threads if the stock is a little too large.

This has to be the best video in teaching thread cutting, so well explained you cannot stuff up, thank you so much

Quinn, I just wanted you to know that I've been struggling with screwcutting for several years and after watching this video about half a dozen times, I FINALLY managed to cut my first thread today on my little import lathe (I'm a Brit that uses metric, so went for an M12x1.75). It took me three goes to get something workable - and the third one was dog rough, but the nut went on. I can't tell you how delighted I am and you had a huge part in that. Thank you for all your careful explanations!

The hardest thing I find when learning a new topic is where to start. I find that rough knowledge refined over time with expwrice works better for me than an exact precise methodology upfront as I miss the broadstrokes. I have long since loved your videos for the fact that they make me, someone's who's less than a novice, get a feel for what I'm even learning. Some of your more in depth videos go over my head but I'll get there 😅

some very good info which I've not seen mentioned on any other channels, particularly interpreting depth of cut from the chart on the machine and much room you have for engaging drive based on the lead screw dial.

I love your video's, it's like a shop class. I really like how you step through the little details on how to do set up and the actual cutting!!!! Keep it up. It's great for me as I haven't ram my lathe since my grandfather taught me when I was much younger than I am now.

I'll never do this, yet I watched the whole video, as I have done with others. You are smart, articulate, and interesting, you would have been ( and perhaps are) a fine teacher.

I like the banjo on that lathe. It looks a lot less fiddly than the one on the Grizzly. The manual looks more helpful, too. The diagram with all the parallel threads is an excellent visualization.

I love spending my Sunday's watching you explaining how to do things on your lathe ! And so by watching your vids it gives me some confidents of what I can do with my little machine. Just to say I am a noob and have only done a few hours of machining on my lathe I have ordered some thread cutting tools so I will give it a try, as I have been doing my threads by using Dies.

Love your mind! You are so clear and easy to understand. I'm watching all of your videos, cant get enough of them. So glad your making them. Thank you!

Hi Quinn - I recently discovered your channel. You're an EXCELLENT teacher. Keep up the great work!

I'm very happy to have found your channel, your explanations are very clear. My father was a bit of a tool wizard and gifted me his Sherline mini lathe and mill before he passed. I now have hope that I might be able actually make something with these great tools he left me.

This reminds me of how much I love my 350MY-II at work. No change gears, bilateral flank in-feed, tapered threads/taper correction, automatic DOC reduction... I even wrote a custom macro for bilateral in-feed with center roughing and pitch diameter control for difficult Acme and TR multi start threads. I love watching your videos Quinn, but I always leave thinking 'thank [insert deity] I don't have to do that at work!' 😅 Keep doing what you do 😊

@@somebodyelse6673 The tool remains square with the workpiece at all times, which is what you use the fishtail for. The compound angle determines the angle of the feed into the workpiece, which means that you feed in following the angle of the thread profile so you’re only cutting on one side... at least that’s how I think it goes

Great video for a first time thread cutter, or anyone wanting to understand how it all works. Thanks for your contribution! I'm going to cut some brass threads this week because of your video!

Great and concise for my first thread cutting experience. I bought an old Harrison AA lathe and excited to try it out, after I run through some diesel fuel to free up the gear drive box from freezing sludge. Great to have the reversing feature and gear selectors but do need to swap gears for metric, unlike my friends Leblond. He's a lucky guy!! Cheers Patreon girl!!

My wife often has a chuckle when she comes into my workshop with my tea and scones to see my laptop set on a table with your page open and me pausing….doing….pausing….doing, but hey it works for me. You say you are a hobbyist and if that is the case then your mechanical mind must be like a sponge as you convey so much information in palatable chunks and with such clarity…..admittedly I have to sometimes watch a few times, normally 3 to understand. I like that your cadence is steady throughout too and the video build and blend nicely into themselves. Take care and thankyou so much

hi with paul, i am new here in this field, i just bought an import lathe the NU210E the latest Chinese mini lathe based on so many models WM120v and brands names. this one is special and has a mini computer to cut your threads and you don't have to change gears anymore. learn a lot in this video !

You explain things so well. Thank you for all the videos.

Very awesome , Thank you for the breakdown , I need all the help I can get . You make it look so easy .

Very good step by step instructions for beginners. Your very thorough. One thing is that some folks when engaging the half nut and using the counter have told me that with even threads use 2 or 4 and odd use 1 or 3. As you demonstrated the way you did it works just fine. I've used the cross Feedmethod and compound method and both work fine.

Thanks for the great content. Always helpful information for us hobby types.

To set the backlash on the gears I was taught to have a sheet of paper between the gears when you close them together. Once locked into position roll the gears so the paper is pushed out and you'll have the backlash perfectly set.
