Thread: Threading stainless 8mm on lathe 7x14
09/02/2017 19:48:39
I make and sell items made of 316 stainless it's tough to work with even drilling can go wrong if you don't get it right

Cheers for the help my lathe is cj18a 7 x 14 I think for stainless a larger lathe with more grunt would help .I have thought about 4 jaw chuck I think I'll just stick to die as I have to drill centre holes and use live centres to thread the bar on the lathe as the bar flexes and I get a lighter cut at the end if I don't use the live centre. Draper die only costs about 3.50 and last while with cutting oil .I think I just enjoyed the challenge of trying to thread on the lathe which I can manage but takes too long

I see your point but 8mm is all I am threading so think will just use lathe to chamfer and then the die for speed I did get a mt2 die holder for the lathe but my 3 jaw chuck won't hold bar tight enough

Finally got to grips threading on my lathe but don't see any benefit as it's so quick and easy using a die .I am using a hss cutting tool and would it cut better with carbide tips .
