... Pipe threads are tapered, so a lathe can't cut them directly. You either need a taper attachment or a die holder to mount an NPT die in the tailstock. For...
It's very rare even to find a fine-thread bolt in NYC hardware stores (and one owner once told me he had no demand for them). People in this city don't repair...

I just use my drill press for this. You can make a crank for the spindle just like the one on the lathe (or like me, rig up a way to use the same crank I use...

You sound like you've had training as an engineer. I wish I'd had some -- basically I just guess, and I usually err on the too-strong side. Last year, I...
OOps. Hadn't seen the pic when I wrote. Just substitute Al angle for the steel, & save a few ounces. I wouldn't bother; this is not an airplane. Mert ...

I have had some success in cutting NPT threads by cutting the taper on the stock first and then cutting a parallel thread on the tapered portion to the correct...
For 1/4" NPT, you would be best advised to buy a tap & die. Failing that, I'd cut a standard straight thread on everything, & if necessary, recut any 1/4" npt...

I regularly cut 1/8"NPT threads by single-point cutting a rough parallel thread on the lathe then finishing with a 1/8"NPT die. It reduces the force needed on...

I'd have to agree with Mike on this one. For a lawyer, in the U.S. anyway, there is an adversary relationship between the two sides with an obligation to do...

With a tap & die! NPT has a 3/4"/ft taper, without a taper attachment for the lathe, you'll get distorted threads. You can turn/bore the pieces tapered to...
