7468 forum posts 230 photos	Merlin, my machine just grew from a pile of scrap, and in the 4 or 5 years I had it, I broke one blade, and that became my first parting tool for my new lathe. I needed to part off 16 slices of 2" dia bronze to make radiator nuts for a Lanz Bulldog tractor. Ian S C PS: Bob, I was going to ask which thread you thought you left them on, so I could go and look for them! Edited By Ian S C on 31/01/2013 10:49:39

2878 forum posts 248 photos	Picking up a left hand tap and try to cut a right hand thread. I did this on a 5Ba. Where on earth did the LH tap come from ? When I was an apprentice, a mate of mine proudly said he had knicked a full set of drills when on night shift in the auto machine shop. Problem was - They were all LH as well!
