Thread: The ongoing saga of John's floor

John,
Only other way I can think of with no gauge but the finished male part is to take a pass  through each start at each depth of cut. Bit of a chore but at least all the starts would be at the same depth. Take the tailstock off if necessary to make room to get the 4 foot long screw lined up to test the fit.

I think if I were going to attempt this and assuming there was a piece of the external thread available as a gauge I'd screwcut off 7 of the 8 starts with a suitable grooving tool just leaving one. This would enable each start to be gauged. For each pitch advance the top slide by .125.
 
Regards,
Jim
Thread: Code of Conduct

John,
 
I don't think I missed the point at all. A 'Code of Conduct' as the first item on the home page? A link to it on the home page is fine. As it is, it tars us all with the same brush. If this is a real problem that warrants this statement being given such prominence either moderate the posts properly or deal with the offenders privately. There are many forums out there in cyberspace that deal with these kinds of problems in the background.

I've read the 'Code of Conduct' on the home page of this site with absolute astonishment! If you have a problem with 'contributors' to this website doing any of these things then deal with THEM! Do not presume to lecture me about about it. You would do well to look at some of your competitors websites both here and abroad to see how they treat their members. You have a decent magazine but it's not the only one in the English speaking world. You would do well to remember that! You rely on subscribers and contributors.
