Lathe threading disengagement set-up

[gatz]

Believe me, I would have done that, but I'm using ThinBit threading insert & holder.



And I don't have an adjustable QC tool-holder

2 problems
1) Just flipping the tool over wouldn't work.....a Left-Hand holder would be needed and some way of changing the height (the Jet tool-post is fixed height)
2) It would work for threading OUT from the shoulder, but I'd have to make a mount for it on the opposite side with the right-hand ThinBit & holder flipped over.

That's the reasons for me doing it this way.

Here's a few pics of the mechanism. ...I had already taken the set-up down, so didn't make a video of that operation in its entirety; but remounted the components temporarily for those who asked to see it.
