The threading tool is a hobbed chaser (as shown on topof the tool post) held in a block fitted to take the place of theregular tool post. Grinding this tool at an angle furnishesa turning edge to precede the threading chaser. By meansof an adjustable stop, the carriage travel can be regulated,.

The taperis obtained by setting over the tail stock, as this method hasbeen found to give the best results.
