for the better part of two decades the mystery of CRI-DAN single point threaders has held a grip
so I dialed a machinist who I knew to have operated this flavor of lathe while
an apprentice at the local navy shipyard 50 years ago
i needed literature covering any or all series CRI-DAN turners--A,B C,D, E and F series machines--
literature was certain to be a problem------Lathes.co.uk has no listing of CRI-DAN --- well, if Tony G's website had no entry tagging CRI-DAN--my work was cut out for me
so machinist bud sadly informs no literature resides in his tool compendium files--but he offered a consolation ---a Sentinel model B CRI-DAN he acquired
20 years ago and never put under power--mine for the removal
four days ago the CRI-DAN venue changed from his yard art to mine
one day--it may actually peel a thread
owning a CRI-DAN is nice--but many fundamental unknowns of the marque remain
what I have uncovered will require several days to post--and if any reader has meaningful info --please contribute
