Sean from RS Machine, thanks for all of your input. I am going to
have to purchase the proper die and die handle (a 2" incher) for this
project and then work on getting my lathe outfitted with the proper
encoders and rpm readouts and such to be able to single point thread
in the future. I know it can be done, just have to put all of the
pieces together. Thanks again for all of your help

Hi Victor,

Seems that either you got responses from other lists, or a lot of
people responded off-list.

In thinking more about the project, it does appear that you would have
to have a spindle postion device, an encoder of some sort.

The 11/32 ( 0.6875) is really large for the lathe to be able to cut
under power execpt for a single point type cutter.

I am glad you did get an answer. (curious what it was) but may I
suggest you considder what it would take and start planning ?

The encoder for the spindle can be really simple so it is not a very
complicated project.

I am not sure if EMC does lathe threading, but I would expect it does.
