Threading Titanium

Brian,

Thanks for the video. Always smart to take a light scratch pass. I sometimes cut metric threads on my Imperial quick change gear lathe but have to make some change gear swaps behind the headstock. It is easy to forget to change these back and not always easy to detect with the same change gears settings for something like 16 TPI vs. 1.5 mm over a 0.5" length of thread.

Regards, Paul

Hi Brian,
I'm always impressed by the quality of your videos !
I wonder if you have already explained your set up for filming from the inside of the tube ?
Beyond the fun of it, I feel it can be really useful to monitor this camera during the turning to really see what happens inside.
Thanks for this useful video !

Thanks for the kind words Chris, as for filming and threading, well it's about the fastest way to ruin a part..lol especially since most of the external threading I do is with the machine running in reverse, each time I stop to check the thread or camera there is a tendency to start it back up in forward. Well you may have seen a few of my crashes.. I used one of those cheap bore cam for that shot. thanks again for watching.
