[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1790274, member: 13632"] Lathes are different too, I can run carbide lay down inserts and run beautiful threads to spec but my buddy has to run a different type of insert and holder. If your running carbide inserts and your not having a rigidity issue you need to really check your tool hight or change speeds, its usually the last couple passes. I keep a HSS tool on hand just in case it happens, if your too close to give it a real pass pick it up with a HSS and you can usually just ease through. It really help to just keep plugging along as long as you have someone helping, once you have rigidity and tools set you can really smoke threads on and nail specs. [/QUOTE]
