    Thanks, the biggest challenge on this job was single point threading on the un known stainless. I ended up threading at the second from top speed on the lathe about 1200 RPM any slower and it got stringy and gauled, let me tell you at that speed it doesn't take long to cut 3" of thread!
    From the time you're born till' you ride in a hearse, there's nothing so bad it couldn't be worse!
