Adam, this internal, square thread cutting video should be required viewing for anyone that may have to single tool similar threads. This is coming from someone who has cut a "gazillion" of them over my 45 years as a machinist. The last five or so years before I retired, I taught many younger machinists these techniques. Your instructions were excellent! Love your channel! TreeTop

I think the thing I took away most from this video was "Patiences". Truly showing what "tool pressure" is and how it affects the threading process, and the multiple small cuts you took then widening the treads which you only dialed in three or five thousandths total in order to loosen up for dirt and contamination. Great video that makes it a little less daunting thank you!

Adam, Great video. About 15 years ago, our astronomy club came into possession of an antique 8" refractor built about 1890 that had a 1 1/8" - 4 square thread for the counterweight shaft. Since the counterweights were long gone, our club wanted some quotes to have two 25 lb and two 10 lb weighs cast and machined. Turned out the lowest quotes were $500 for each 25 lb and $250 for each 10 lb weight. I had bought a 7x12 minilathe about a year earlier and volunteered to help. What I did was buy to 25 lb barbell weights with 2" bore for $10 each and two 10 lb for $5 each. I machined a test plug to match the counterweight shaft and then machined some brass bushings to be pressed into the barbell weights. I ground my tool and the machining when well. Since the lathe was small, I hand cranked the spindle. My setup was similar to yours and did have to feed in the compound 0.010" to have the test plug screw in easily. Our club observatory is a 20 minute drive from my home. I sent pics of the barbell weights on the telescope and of the test plug and the telescope to your email.

I find it so hard to believe that there are some people that give you a thumbs down after watching you demonstrate how you do what you do. What is it that they don't like? You explain what you do, why you do it, and the way you do it, and the result 99% of the time is friggin perfect!! I don't get it... That said, I want to let you know how much I enjoy you sharing your knowledge with me. Prior to this video, I have heard of a square thread, but had no idea how to cut one. NOW I DO!! And I really think I could go out and actually cut one because of the way you showed step by step how you do it, and it looked like it came out perfect, so what's not to like? I guess it just gets my goat that my video's are no where near the quality of yours and yet this is what happens! Adam, you have taught me, as well as thousands so much since I got my first machine, there is no way to say THANK YOU loud enough. They say when a craftsman makes it look easy, chances are it's not! You are that my friend......... PS. You still need to send me the measurements on that second lens cover, I would be more than happy to make one for you! Razor!

yes, that's the latest reason for thumbing down- even then it doesn't completely prevent YT from generating related recommendations- it's become a real pain in the arse lately. I don't like having to "down" some vids, but if it's the only one I want to watch on a particular subject, I have no choice! Think of it as a way of expressing dis-interest, not dislike. Some of the recommendations lately are complete horseshit, and even after selecting "not interested" and "telling it why", the same videos return straight after refreshing!!! So the blame lies fairly and squarely on YT's shoulders. BTW, there's no way in hell I am "downing" your vids- I'm happy to watch everything you have))

That was just utterly PHENOMENAL!! 'Instrument-only flying in zero visibility conditions' to use the aviator's term, and you're 'as cool as the other side of the pillow' the entire time, as the late great Stuart Scott would put it. Flipping amazing! Thanks very much for the shots showing you working the controls while doing this. To ward off losing track of how far you'd gone in before the next pass, you were returning the cross-slide right back to where you just were immediately after extricating the tool-bit right? Meanwhile, with how much dimensionally larger these square threads are when what we've seen you cut, even coarser than the threads cut for the rotary welding table build, that internal, against-the-shoulder thread relief is the safest way to be able to dis-engage the half-nut and back-off and extract after every cut, too? Eye-opening too seeing how much tool pressure and boring bar flex there was from how much those spring passes were taking following each increase in depth.

Great work and video. I ran a geotechnical drill rig for a while that used similar pieces. That looks like to be what's called an NW box thread you machined to accept an NW pin to NWJ pin adapter. The consideration for the piece getting dirty and rusty is awesome and that extra couple thousandths of thread width makes a tremendous difference for ease of use in the field. Also, the blending of the start of the thread will save someone some field tapping and filing until that piece gets ran a few times. You made a drill crew very happy when they put that into service. Again, great work.

I used to work at a company that made thread adaptors like these here. One of the most difficult things was the threads couldn't run out into an undercut, because it created a weak point and they would shear off so we had to pull the tool out of the cut progressively earlier with each cut.
