A variety of die heads (Geometric, Landis, H&G, or just plain old acorn dies) were used as turret tools for modest lengths of threading at the end of the part. I think there were "native" threading accessories for the later A series, don't believe the earlier series had such attachments, but don't have the W&S books in front of me here to look.Do these turret lathes have the capacity to thread?
A W&S #5 is rather large for a manual chucker, although nothing compared to the "superlathes" in overall size, nor anything in length to lathes used for shafts and rolls. If I had room in my shop, I'd be looking for a #4 or a #2A, based on bar capacity.They seem awfully large.
