CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE: Single Point ACME Threading!

Показать описание

Making a form-tool for, and single-point cutting, an internal ACME (trapezoidal) thread. What a mouthful.

Ok. Tony, we need to talk. Look, you lured me in with clever, funny videos, some of which had relevant tips for the kind of work I was doing. Then, you got it in my head that I actually needed a mill and a lathe. So last week I found myself actually buying one of each. Now I'm spending hundreds on tooling and accessories. Yes, I'm having fun, and I'm saving a beautiful former US Navy lathe from the scrapper, and the whole thing is incredibly rewarding, but I'm still blaming you.

Thanks for that.

Imagine if public schools had teachers like this faceless, but non-threatening man with a wicked sense of humor...

This is the absolute best channel on YouTube

For the last two weeks, I've been checking Tony's channel twice a day.

Not that I'm obsessed, or

Just when I thought your videos couldn’t get any
The pixelation was off the charts funny.
I always wondered how they made those miniature lathes. 😱

Your editing and sense of humor is the best, your Japanese blur cracked me up when I finally got it. Thanks

I keep this video tucked away with my favourites, as it never fails to satisfy my wants, needs and urges.
A good old way to use the resources you have accumulated along your journey, put together a modest but solid tap, and produce a quality nut!
Bravo ol chap!

The stress from my day has melted away. Thanks This Old Tom!

"Something is afoot, possibly even amiss." Little stuff like that is the triple chocolate icing on the ice cream cake that is a This Old Tony video. What a time to be alive, when this kind of helpful, entertaining stuff is available for free without putting pants on or leaving my couch.

An entire generation of kids are going to have so much of their father's knowledge cataloged and recorded on youtube for when they pass on. I wish I had this for my dad. Very cool.

Your throw-away comedy is amazing. Thank you for the laughs!

Finally “”MACHINERY’s HANDBOOK”! I’ve enjoyed This Old Tony for a while now and my interest isn’t as an enthusiast or a pro, but in part because Machinery’s Handbook is my grandfather’s life work. So I have to say I’ve been wondering when the old tome would be referenced... referencing the reference, as it were.

That’s right, I’m talking about That Old Horton. Anyway, I wish I could share these videos with his now-since-deceased soul.

Thanks This Old Tony for bringing up the handbook. It makes this young Horton, and perhaps that Old Horton — Holbrook Horton — proud.

I don't have a lathe, probably never will. But your videos are so entertaining. I laughed more watching this video than I usually do in a day, and im subbed to a few comedy channels.
Your vids are the best. Thank you for blessing us with your time.

I managed to cut a 5/8" x 8 TPI Acme nut for an old tailstock quill. I first cleaned up and recut the male thread and it ended up 15mmm OD. My tool was a composite one like yours except it was HSS retained by a grub screw. The bar was 10mm diameter so no relief grinding reqd. Like you I cut to an open end. I drew it all in CAD first so I could get the right leading & trailing clearances on the tool. Amazingly it all worked.
