  • "OMFG! He made a thread with no oil! Wtf is he thinking ... How is that even possible!? I'm surprised the machine didn't blow up or caught fire!"

    Also... you're all idiots.

    The man bought himself a lathe, material and tools to show you this. I think its safe to say that he knows the basics...

    How much of the actual thread cutting would we see in this video if it was covered in oil and coolant? .... exactly.

  • cool thread bro

  • @MrMonkey9911 I c wat u did there.

  • Wow. Nothing like threads on metal!

  • @astriknon well i live in houston tx there is some manufacturing here but thanks to rick perry most who have them jobs are mexican's that's why i asked what state are you in,,do you know of a union i can join to become a machinist

  • @798unionpipeliner St. Louis, MO... I do suppose it matters what city you live in whether its heavy in manufacturing or not.

  • @astriknon what state are you in

  • @Perplexer1 An indicator, either digital or a dial on the handles.

  • @798unionpipeliner I am a machinist and we employ over 15 people at our shop. Pretty much most things labeled "Made in U.S.A." When it comes to machines were american employed. There are plenty of jobs out there, just need the training and experience.

  • You should upload a 10min version of this...

  • damn to make a single thread you need fucking patience...

  • You dont need no oil or coolant at that speed,

    and defenetly not with coromant inserts.
