Here they are...........the first threads I have ever cut on the lathe...After figuring what gears went where, was actually pretty easy. Don't know why I was sweating threading so much...

Cheers, Matt
 
Congratulations, Matt! Well done.

Threading itself is not that hard. But going up to a shoulder like you did I find nerve racking.

What size threads?
 
Good timing. New skill for a new year! Looks like you figured it out just fine.

What is the part for?
 
thanks,

1/2-20 I used the belt tension lever and eased up on the shoulder. Kinda like a clutch.
