In this episode, I'll show how to get back on your feet after you lost the thread on a single point threading operation, for any valid reason or excuse...

Hope you enjoy, for any questions, just leave it in the comments, and, I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

    Thanks for taking the time to show this Pierre . Cheers Martin
  • 7 years later by now. Nevertheless, thinking a little and watching... Yes, this is the way to do it. But not easy on very fine threads like 51 TPI (in metric 0.5 mm). Imagine a well know Tuber tried to show this but did it wrong!..... Thanks for the video.
  • Hey Pierre , I liked your video very most and I watched many on this subject. Yours was the best.
  • @PhilsProjects
    you made that look easy Pierre, Im sure it will be helpful to many people Bravo! See you tomorrow, I will handcuff the suitcase with the parts in it tomorrow morning
  • @jimmilne19
    Excellent tutorial. Very useful for me. Thanks for sharing.
  • @joell439
    Well done. Those are some quick hands you have there.
  • Good information and a Nice edit! By the way, I showed my wife your "cleaning with alcohol" segment. She has been using the technic around the house now. I'm not sure the house is cleaner, but she's happier!  lol

    Loved it. Great lesson. A lot of folks don't know how to do that ;)

    Hi Pierre.  Ahhh - I well recall the first time I had to recover a thread! Truly it is not as scary as some think. Mind you, always found it easier to do on a big thread compared with a really fine pitch. Enjoyable to watch that Pierre - nice close-up work. :).

    Good review on this process. I don't mind doing outside threads but I hate trying to pick up inside threads since they are so hard to see.
  • @CompEdgeX2013
    Good practice to do that once in a while. You did a great how-to. Quick draw on the handle and not even a nick on the shoulder... ;-) Colin
  • Hi Pierre, very nice thread finishing! This inserts (HSS) are the best for manual threading, but unfortunately many manufacturers are not producing them anymore! Most of the manufactures now only producing for CNC industry (carbon inserts)which are not working as good as HSS for manual threading. The business of HSS inserts is not enough for them, so they stop, and now very hard to buy them! Sumitomo use to make good ones, but they stop the production too...unfortunately

    Hi, That's good information, thank you. On my lathe, I do not have a threading dial, so I do not disengage the half nuts. Then reverse the lathe, back to the starting point. All the best Adam
  • @meocats
    does your lathe automatically disengage while threading? that looked really close margin of error on the shoulder
