I've been tinkering with my new G4000 for a month now. Some decent success turning W1 to a set taper and finishing it smoothly. I decided to try threading as my next learning project.
I'm trying to turn 1/2 inch rod to have an end with one inch of 8mm-1.5. This will fit the tool post turret bolt to hold my tool post secure.
I had a 1/2 inch carbide tipped bit and also a 5/16 Grizzly carbide, a McMaster-Carr indexable carbide insert bit, and a McM-C carbide bit. All had 60 degree points...
