I worked out that I was trying to run the spindle too fast and it was causing a mis match. I put the machine onto the slowest spindle speed and then it worked fine. I am fairly green when it comes to making stuff on the lathe, so it is a bit of a learning curve doing threads, but i am really enjoying it. I guess that these days CNC machines are taking over most of the work that the "old guys" used to do. But there are still folk about who are in the know and it is great value to have them to talk to. Have fun with your projects thanks again Pete
