The spindle/workpiece spin and the carriage moves linearly at a precise amount per turn of the spindle. That linear movement is the thread pitch. But this process usually requires several passes to reach the […] The post This mod simplifies single-point threading on mini lathes appeared first on Arduino Blog.
