  • I had a small threading ob come up where the customer wanted two new shoulder bolts to match the shoulder length of an original part which requiring machining the threads further back. I show you my techniques on how to line up on an existing thread and progressively cut them to match the original. I understand that after filming this video some of this may be hard to understand or even see in the video so I would like to revisit this subject and film it again in more detail.

    Greetings Adam. Congratulations on the new shop and expansion of your machining capability. You should be very proud. Now for the hard part. Your setup was destined to ruin the original threads from the start. Locating the threading tool on the right side of a 60 degree thread with the compound set at 29 1/2, doesn't work the same for chasing as it does for cutting a thread from scratch. To simplify, imagine 2 cars on the freeway side by side, but the one on the right (original thread profile) is slightly ahead of the one on the left. Now the car on the right turns 30 degrees to the left while you only turn 29.5 degrees to the left. A collision will occur. Exactly the same thing happen to the original threads on this rework. I don't have the parts to inspect, but I'd bet ya dinner, the original thread PD is now smaller than additional threads you just cut. Align the 'V' first as deep as you can then back out the tool and creep back to that position. I hope you accept this in the good faith it was offered. Stay well.

      @quadrannilator 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I was wondering the same thing... not knowing how the original thread was made (process, geometry, tool wear, machine integrity, etc etc), one would be forced to first align the re-work tool to the thread as closely as possible before setting up a hard rule like the 29.5° compound setting - otherwise one is pretty much destined to cut over the original thread somehow somewhere...

      I havent done it a lot, but when I do I put the compound parallel to the work engage threading and stop the spindle when in front of the threads then just dial the compound until the thread lines up. Ok so I am feeding straight in, Its a repair job.

      Actually .... this works just fine. The right flank of the cutting tool is aligned parallel with the right side of the thread "wall". When feeding is done with the top slide, the flank of the cutting tool keeps the distance from the right wall of the thread groove. This works because the top slide is in the correct angle which makes it parallel with the right wall of the thread groove.
      If Adam would have the habit of keeping the top slide parallel with the ways and would feed using the cross slide (like I do), this definitely would ruin the thread if aligned as shown. In this case the alignment is done perpendicularly to the middle of the thread groove.

    I am a level 3 machinist apprentice and I have to say I've never seen a thread chased this way with a compound at 29°. Fresh threading yes 29°, but for chasing, I alway set my compound 90° aka so the ways of the compound are parralel with bed. Then I engage split nut, and feed back and forth with compound using a dial on compound to show when I hit either side of the thread wall. Then I split the difference, do an eye check and this ensures youre in the bottom. Then some guys like to take some pressure off one cutting edge of the tool which is fine and would be acheived by moving compound in direction of chuck maybe 0.002". Then use oil and gradually feed in using the cross slide over multiple passes until you gently clean it up.

    nice trick to know. I'm a bit puzzled by the tiny gap one could see on the close up views to the right side of the tools with the original thread : would that not mean that there is a slight misalignement of the tool with the existing thread (i.e. when one is plunging at 29°1/2 without touching to the right, when bottoming the right of the original thread will still remain a bit further away on the right side of the tool) - should not the tool be in light contact of the right thread trailing surface rather than a few thou away?

    Did any one notice when the thread was first being chased that there was light showing either side of the cutting tool? If you are going to go in at 29 and a half degrees to only cut on the left side of the tool then surely the right side has to be within a thou or less of the left side of the thread( to the left of the peak) otherwise if there is say 8 thou gap to the right side of the tool then the centre of the new thread being cut is 8 thou to the left all the time. Also as the tool got deeper did anyone notice that the original thread was being cut and chips were coming off. Which to my mind says my original statement was correct Adam was off too far to the left when he set the tool up to the original thread.

I just made it up as I went along, nut cam up with more or less the same method - using the compund-slide to adjust the position sideways and cross slide for depth. It worked! ;)

    Alternatively, turn the chuck by hand (with the half-nuts engaged) far enough to remove backlash in the gear train. Then, with the work stationary, line up the RH flank of the tool with the RH flank of the existing thread. Rotate the chuck by hand a little and tweak the cross-slide and top-slide settings if necessary.

      There is always a backlash. It would be simplier to turn the compound square, engage the feed, dive it by hand until the carriage moves, then find the bottom of the thread by playing with the compuond X and cross slide Y. Small threads can be cut by feeding Y square.

    I still don’t understand using the compound for infeed. Cross slide sure, but to me it seems that using the compound on an angle is moving it both in (X) and over (Z) making it not line up with the previous cut? After this vid it makes a little more sense I guess, but just can’t wrap my head around this one. Still learning of course so thanks for sharing. I’ve learned pretty much everything I know from this channel and of course trial and error with my new lathe and mill.

    • @mulletscientist
      @mulletscientist 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I'm no master machinist, but I'll describe what I believe. The threading tool has a sharp point and a small flat on either side of the point. Feeding in with the cross slide would plunge the tip of the tool into the part and try to peel a chip from both flats, which due to the geometry is hard on that delicate pointed tool. Feeding with the compound at 29.5° tracks down one side of the thread, only pulling a chip from one of the flats on the tool. This results in a nicer chip and longer tool life.
      Idk if that's clear, and maybe I'm way off. The beauty of the internet is that someone else will be along to correct me soon.

    • @paulhunt598
      @paulhunt598 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is moving relative to Z, but he attempted to set the tool to match the existing thread at full depth. He then backs the compound off to start diameter and begins the threading passes. Each pass moves the tool further towards the chuck as well as in feeding the diameter and only cutting on the leading edge of the threading tool. At the finish pass, he should reach full depth and the leading (cutting edge) of the tool should now be matched to the original thread at full depth.
      In the first bolt there is a slight thread transition between the two threads. I would like to examine the part to determine what causes that obvious transition. The second bolt has less visible transition. The thread pitch match doesn't appear perfect, but it may be that the major diameter is undersize at that point and the thread doesn't reach a sharp point.
      I have never seen this done before. Having a simpler mind, I would have chased the thread with a die. I will admit that when I do this, the die tends to cut the original thread and my finished part looks gnarly. He is machining SS. This would complicate my success. He didn't indicate the bolt in his setup and clamped in the 3 jaw on the knurled bolt head. I suppose that this introduced some runout error. But this is a bolt, not a precision part. His reference to cleaning up a cylinder or rod thread makes single point chasing a much more necessary method. In my maintenance experience and lack of lathe skills, I spent a lot of time with thread chasing files and triangular files to repair damaged threads. Doing this in the lathe could have enormously improved my result.
      I am a skilled repairman, but I am only a hack machinist. What a joy it would be to learn this skill on a brand new machine instead of on my worn out machines. I can't justify that Walter threading tool holder and inserts, but tools like that would boost my confidence.

      It's just way less tool pressure, because you're effectively only cutting on one side of the tool. You can get away with going straight depth on smaller threads. But when you get into like 4 or 6 pitch threads, at least on tough material. Using the compound in feed is almost essential

      In theory, yes it should be 30. But most people use 29.5 because it ensures you clean up the RH side of the thread form, as that side of the tool makes a very slight cut as you progress in deeper. If you were slightly out when setting the top slide to 30 and it was actually at, say, 30.2, the RH side of the thread would end up being very slightly stepped and a bit rough.

When you start cutting with the zoom it looks like the threading tool is not riding on the left side of each thread it seems theres a small gap. Its should be rubbing anytime you feed the compound at 29.5 to cut the right side of the thread with the left side of the insert. Am i seeing this right?

    I needed (2) 5/16-18 socket head cap screws
    2" long with the thread all
    the way back to the head .
    They don't come that way.
    I did just exactly as you did . The main advantage to using the compound is your cutting on the left side of tool only. When you use the cross side you cut on both sides of the tool.
    That creates twice as much surface cutting and is more likely to cause chatter in the thread . You must use another depth for the compound than the double depth marked on a
    thread gage. My machiest hand book has the correct depth setting for the compound.

If the part it ended up in the chuck a few thousands one way or the other then they wouldn't have.

      With the half nut engaged, move the cross slide in and the angled compound slide out to move the cutter laterally to line up with the existing thread. Once the cutting face of the tool touches the cut face of the thread, you can back out the compound and everything will stay in sync.

      Adam mentioned that the original thread was rolled, leaving it with a radius at the root. Since Adam used a regular v cutting tool, it cut out the radius at the bottom of the existing thread but left the sides untouched. This wouldn't affect the function of the thread since the matching nuts would be cut with a die and have v shaped threads.

      Less chatter when cutting on the left side of the insert, instead of the full profile.. In theory. I just plunge straight in with no issues on most work. A bigger thread on harder materials can cause chatter. In practice, most of the time plunging straight in with the cross feed is fine.

    • @ElectricGears
      @ElectricGears 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      For right hand threads, you cut the right flank of the thread as shown to take up backlash in the compound feed screw. The carriage movement is pushing tool into the work and keeping everything susceptible to backlash in the compound in compression. If you tried to cut on the left flank of the thread by swing the compound, the carriage movement is now pulling away form the cut.
      For left hand threads, you do swing the compound to the other side of 90° and reverse the feed direction.

      The 5th thread crest (counting right to left) Is smaller than the rest because the threading on the bolt originally was relief cut in this area. Much like he did with his radius tool.
