Barrel threading help
Posted by David Barker on 5/21/2010, 1:38 pm
I can't seem to cut straight threads on my barrels no matter what, i use the lathe to cut about half of the thread and then use a die to finish up the cut. However when screwed into the rear barrel plate the muzzle end turns in a big arc. Even tried turning a pilot on the end to help center the die, but no luck. I'm gonna run out of barrels at this rate. Never thought cutting threads would be that hard. Any suggestions? Die holder for the tail stock?
