The chuck is a collet chuck and can be hand operated .the threading head takes standard dies and is set to a stop at which time it pulls forward and disengages
In my school there's an old lathe I do my machining on. It's old and tired, but will do the work perfectly. So far I have only used two different tool bits and the center drill... And I have done a lot of lathe work.
The axial cutting bit (to reduce diameter) is neat, but not nearly as much as the threading tool. How does it know when to quit? Looks like you push it up to a stop and the threading action pulls it forward a bit more, releasing it. Is this a standard tool or did you have to make it?
Now the next step is pneumatic control and a computer and you have CNC :-)

I do run one all day long. I don't work from bar-stock I chuck blanks.
The first tool seems to be a sort of hollow-mill.
Never seen that sort of threading tool before. Can you explain it a bit more on the forum?

Hey, Frank, very cool!
