This is a viewer requested video that covers basic threading. It uses the "feeding with the compound" method. This is the method use in most South Bend, Logan, Atlas, etc. instructional manuals and in my opinion, yields the best results on smaller lathes.
PLEASE NOTE: My comment about total thread depth and reading it on the compound was way off. I pinned a comment to the top that explains this math.
