I thought I would put this one up For Julie Anne but it may be of interest to others as it shows some Aussie tool trials to see what depth of cut and feed rates are possible. Watch to the end for the full 12mm DOC and don’t try it at home on your Mini-Lathe

And as we have been discussing thread pitch in another thread this should show the 2tpi tapered thread that goes onto the part being roughed out in the first video

50 horsepower motor and a chuck that weighs about a ton, would I need a phase converter or VFD to run it and does it come with a 4 jaw and collets? Seriously though it was impressive, especially the screwcutting.
