Hey Preso! Thanks for the feedback. I am enjoying working with you, two little shops learning from each other, linked by our daily emails. Cheers, Cliff
Gday Cliff, I’ve just finished watching both Marks and your videos and following with great interest, this certainly is a great tool for any workshop to have and a brilliant build to improve accuracy skills, keen to see the next instalment mate, cheers
Marks doing a bang up job on his. I would have liked to purchase one complete rather than building one myself, only because I’m not 100% confident I’ll be able to make everything correctly. But either way I just want one!
sine bar spiral lead mechanism? like yours and presos vids and the thread express is quite the gadget, would love to have one myself. Thanks for doing what you do.
Hi Charlie. Thanks for the feedback and encouragement. You have me intrigued and googling those mechanisms. My design is simpler that, stay tuned for the full reveal. Cliff
I think it is brilliant and my guess would be that you have a nut on the sindle wich is lifting the whole spindle housing by riding in a slot. The engle of the slot is determined by your scale. pretty brilliant. I am interested in getiing one but I think my mill is way to small.
@@markneedham752 It should work on a lathe with the thread milling tool mounted in the spindle but getting the 2 spindles of the Thread Express and the centre lathe aligned for equal centre height may pose a challenge. Thread milling in the lathe is very do-able with a thread milling cutter mounted to a motorised router spindle affixed to the tool post or mounted on the cross slide and use the screwcutting gearbox to set the thread pitch desired.....Stefan Gotteswinter demonstrated thread milling in a lathe in one of his videos.
Very clever Cliff ! I have been racking my brain on how you transfer the rotation of the spindle to the linear advancement of the carriage. One look at the threading of the shaft and the advancement nut and it all started to make sense. I know now that one end of the lever is attached to the nut on the shaft. Next is to work out how the adjustable fulcrum point connects to the lever advancement of the carriage. I know now that I will solve the linkage before too long. My hat is off to you Cliff Ken Parsons Halifax Nova Scotia Canada
Hi Ken. Thanks for the feedback and encouragement. Good to hear of you guys racking your brains, I have the full reveal video ready now, and will post when Preso gets to that stage, probably not long now. I bet it is starting to get cold now, in your neck of the woods? A good time of the year for you to watch RUclips. Cheers, Cliff
@@Threadexpress I am expecting to see some form of Constantly Variable Transmission (CVT) involved in the pitch variation mechanism.....time will reveal all😃
Criminally underrated channel, You are the best Cliff! Cheers!
Oh thanks! Most appreciated. Cheers, Cliff
It should gain a lot more subscribers with this series of collaborative videos between Cliff and Mark
I really enjoyed watching that cylindrical grinder at work. The finish on the mandrel is first class.
Regards, Preso.

This is a great collab, thanks for sharing
Hi George. Yes, Preso is a man with integrity and great to work with. Cliff
@Threadexpress been following him for a while, amazing resource for people wanting to learn
Enjoying both you and Prezzo’s series on this.
Hi Tony. Thanks for letting me know! Cheers, Cliff
I watched Preso's video and then came over to watch yours, coming along nicely on both sides of the Ditch. 👍
Hello fellow RUclipsr! Thanks for taking the time to give that feedback. Cheers, Cliff
@@Threadexpress You're most welcome.

Hi Matty. Your channel looks interesting, I have some watching to do. Thanks for your encouragement! Stay tuned. Cheers, Cliff
Very interesting. This looks like a great tool. Nice work.
Hi Rusty! Thanks for your feedback, keeps me going! Cheers, Cliff

But either way I just want one!
Going forward, I might have some available, I am putting together a video on that subject currently, stay tuned, Cliff
Thank you.
Cheers! Cliff

Hi. Thats an interesting idea, you have me sketching it up! Stay tuned, the full reveal should be soon. Cheers, Cliff
I want one of these so bad I can taste it !! Where do I send the check ?!
Again! nice! I love your enthusiasm; it keeps me going! Things are picking up momentum, so hopefully not long now, stay tuned. Cheers, Cliff
Where do I sign?!!!
Stay tuned. Hopefully not long now! Cheers, Cliff
is a knee mill a requirement ?
I sort of think so. But a lathe will do it also. I think.
Hi Sandmang. Have a look at my recent ThreadExpress pros and cons video, where I cover this subject. Cliff

100mm chuck, bevel gears, bearings have arrived. How much do you want😮😮 dollars 😮😮 and where do I send it to..😊😊 Seriously.😊😊
