I am sure this issue has been discussed here, I can't find it. Looking to buy a 9" SB with threaded spindle nose.
However, having learned the pleasure of running spindle in reverse and single point cutting threads with the carriage moving away from headstock,
threading tool upside down, (which has potential of unscrewing chuck or Faceplate) I am wondering what results ppl here have had, with this procedure.
I realize some may do this with a collet held center/faceplate arrangement. It seems to me if the typical screw-on chuck is put on fairly tight
and esp if the tailstock back things up......it probably could proceed with little trouble?
TIA for any replies or links to previous discussion of this procedure.
