I needed to thread a 17 in. piece of one inch pipe. The power threaders were all out of the shop. Well why not set up a chaser die from a power threader? Set it up in the atlas lathe using my homemade ball brg. "steady". Set the chaser in a 4way post and squared so as to keep the taper proper. Took a marking cut and it looked fine. Ran the thread about two pitches "running". Turned out a nice tapered pipe thread. I was wondering how many have tried this method?
Woke up to an inch of snow this morning. Gone now.
