I have seen spiral swarf threads quite often and does give a warm glow that there is no chip contamination.

I have fitted NewtonTesla controllers on the mill and lathe. The 'jog' function is very useful for back and forth incremental tapping when needed. While I have a controller on the lathe I still prefer to use a hand mandrel in the headstock sleeve.

It's been an interesting thread and I am glad I am not the only one in love with spirals.

(Speaking of which there is rumoured to be a new series coming to BBC4 in the New Year).

Bonne année

Alan
