I STUDIED THIS ,MORE THAN 27 YRS AGO,DURING MY COLLEGE EDUCATION.AND IT's true that there are gages blades to notify you every time, you make a cut inside or outside,specially when you do ,acme ,standar,milimetric ,etc.Sorry my english is not enough,how to describe the rest of the process,but anyway,there was a person that can help you better .
By doing it this way compared to the standard way I was saving just over 1 min per part. When you make the number of parts I do you need to save all the time you can. Yes it does make for precision threads. It is not cutting when in reverse and when you put it back in forward the take up is exactly the same. Also by having the tool post set at 29 1/2 degrees I am only cutting on one side too.
How is starting, stopping and reversing fast at all? Also did you consider all of the slack in the gear train has to be taken upeach time you reverse the carriage? Doesn't exactly make for a precision thread. Buy the old South Bend "How ToRun a Lathe" book. You can get reprints on ebay and they are worth every cent. The fact that you have a DRO to make light saber parts made me giggle.
Here are some tips for you. First, don't eyeball your tool on center. Second, the end of your boring bar doesn't mean shit, there is a gage that every highschool machine shop student knows how to use to see where the V of the tool is in relation to your i.d. or o.d. Thirdly you DO NOT have to start each cut on the same number on the thread dial. Even pitches can start on any line or number, odd pitches only on numbers. Your theory would be right if you were doing multiple start threads.
Do you make stunt sabers? I asked the VadersVault guy, and he said he doesn't. But I don't understand why. He's got the tools and the talent for it. And I've got the money. I also suspect you're him.
I am not 100% sure but a 1 1/2 OD pices of tubing will fit all the way through but 1 3/4 won't. This machine has been very good to me in the almost 3 years I had it. It is a 13 x 40 Enco Bench lathe package with cabinet and 2 axis DRO and free shipping for $2495. Now that same package is $5000. This lathe has been perfect for sabers and more.
It is for a saber. That is a standard thread I use. I am working on machining 6 sabers at the same time. It is more productive to thread all the parts at once.

@theonlyred4 I am not Vaders Vault, I am Saber Concepts. Vaders Vault is coming out with some stunt sabers very soon. I also make stunt sabers too.

Was this piece for a saber? Or just a random scrap of tube.
