[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2076328, member: 116486"] I’m just getting into hobby machining with an Australian made Hercus 260. These are a copy of a Southbend and May have interchangeable parts. There were Southbend 9” and the later 260 starting in the 70’s Mine is a fairly late model and used in schools. It is a Metric machine but there is a set of gears available to do imperial threading. This much I have found for sure but , well I’ve not cut a thread yet. You can actually buy a tap and die to cut barrel threads and tru them on the lathe but again it’s out of my league. The Hercus Guru in Australia said you don’t need a dial thread chaser if you reverse each pass on threading, I hope this helps Yi up probably need a lathe with a spider on the rear of the headstock to centre it properly [/QUOTE]
