Re: Barrel threading help
Thanks Joe for the input. My inital goal was to cut about half the threads with the lathe then finish with a die. However the lathe proved to be the thing that made threading with a die worse. I turned the end to.435" with a chamfer and about 1/16" run off. Since my first post, i've turned a tailstock die holder to ensure the barrel and die stay square. As stated before, just lack of experence and over confindence on my part. the "live and learn" lessons aren't free sometimes. I do want to thank everyone who responded.
