Made a thing!
Am trying to learn how to use the metal lathe. This is a small M6 thumb screw made from free machining steel.
@allpoints i used a die. I'm not ready to try single point threading upto a shoulder yet.
@quixoticgeek fair. Still, looks good. Small parts are tough
@quixoticgeek so cool, I love watching machining videos <3
@quixoticgeek aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand
YAHTZEE 
@PalmAndNeedle yep. That's what I said a split second before it fell off into the chip tray...
@quixoticgeek obligatory when making small parts, yes yes 
@quixoticgeek nice, cutting threads on something that short is awkward
