Here are a few possible solutions to lowering the vibration or chatter when cutting threads on a lathe:
- If possible, grip the workpiece deeper into the chuck
- Shorten the protruding tail stock quill and lock the tail stock lever
- Lower the cutting speed or in some cases increase it
- Ensure the tool is sharp
- Make sure the tool tip is not above the center line or too far below it
- Use cutting oil
The following items are free cutting angle should not exceed the limit.
Eighth-grade steel.

∙ 12y agoas long as the lathe is running correctly, ie. the headstock is in line with the tailstock, no issues with the motor, etc. The best way is to add mass to the stand that your lathe is attached to. If you have it on a bench or something like that, you need to bolt it securely to the bench. If it's on a stand-alone stand, add some weight to the stand. Sandbags, concrete blocks, anything like that. What kind of lathe is it?

How many gears to a lathe machine?
It depends on the brand. A lathe could be supplied with anything from two to seven separate interchangeable gears for thread cutting purposes. If you are asking how many gears a single standard center lathe has in total, the number could exceed fifty.
What is profiling on lathe machine?
Vertical milling machine is for cutting large pieces. The lathe cutting tool motion is perpendicular to the ground. They are said to Karosl lathe.
What is carriage in lathe machine?
carriage is a part of lathe which means to be support cutting tool to give feed to cutting tool and control cutting action.
What is the split nut in lathe?
The split nut, also known as half nut enables thread cutting on a lathe. It is engaged around the lead screw (which is housed in the apron attached to the saddle) and moves the saddle in the required direction at the required pitch.
How do you measure lathe speed?
lathe speed is numerically measured by cutting speed vdn/1000.
What a lead screw is used for?
the leadscrew is used for thread cutting on a lathe
Your lathe is not cutting correct screw pitch?
1 - You can control the angle of the screw cutting tools. 2 - setting screw cutting lathe control. 3 - reduce the depth at every step. 4 - Adjust the speed milling machine. 5 - Barry screws to release the lever, do not screw cutting lathe.
When lathe cutting threads how do you measure external screw threads to know they have been cut deep enough?
The only sure method is to have the appropriate internal (female) thread eg. a nut available and to try this on the cut thread. If the fit is too tight then another cut or pass must be made on the lathe. If you are cutting both male and female threads to match then cut the female thread first and use it to check the cutting of the male thread. Submitted by Bill Lavery

What is the apron on a lathe?
The apron on a lathe is suspended from the saddle. It houses a gearbox connecting the carriage hand wheel to the rack enabling longitudinal movement of the saddle. It also houses the half nut and its lever for thread cutting and power feed levers.
How do you thread a gun barrel?
Normally performed using a lathe.
How do you measure lathe speed?
lathe speed is numerically measured by cutting speed vdn/1000.
Internal threads on lathe?
You need an internal thread chaser to do it. They come in a set with the external thread chaser.
What is back gear attachment in lathe?
The back gears on a lathe can be changed to enable it to cut an even wider variety of thread pitches.
