    As the construction seems to be lacking any means of hold-down of the tool that method remains to be seen with this device...
    It also seems to have some side-to-side play, and perhaps the tip will dip down when the rear of the tool holder lifts when threading?
    Most threading swing/ reversing tools I've seen are quite a lot more rigid than this.
    Guess we'll see the results in the next video?

    OTOH- Your suggested L-R method almost makes this device entirely unnecessary, Crusty - were you joking?

    Exactly, when I filmed I was finishing the project. When showing in operation, subtle changes can be observed. All comments are always welcome! Thank you for your interest DIYSwede!

    No - I commented with what I think is a better way to achieve the same end and with no special tooling required to implement..
    If you can't make it precise make it adjustable.

    Not criticizing - many's been the time that I got a way to do something in my head and then after some work someone else showed me another better way that I hadn't thought of. We all get better sharing tips.

    Thanks Crusty, certainly if I were to redo some of my projects, I would have done it in a totally different way. Learning and relearning is part of the fun!

    Crusty, I appreciated the thread you started on inverted tool, left to right threading back in July (found here: Single Point Lathe Threading - Best Technique Ever). That video really showed the technique clearly concisely.
