A good fit in the slide and the threading tool spring loaded so it stays in place until the "leash" becomes taut ensures a good thread can be cut.
I have a pdf on it's construction.

That video from 2008 was of the Gingery Home Made Lathe from scrap metal and CRS. I don't use it very much anymore. The design is flawed which wasn't obvious until I owned the South Bend. Once you drive a Mercedes it's tough to go back to a Datsun. I even have some box steel tubing and the stuff to remake the ways and bed so it's stiffer. Just never did that after the SB arrived.The Hardinge HLV-H has a manual retraction handle for threading and can do both internal and external threads, I have watched a lot of threading videos this to me looks like a very slick setup thus I covet one of these lathes.
I really like your setup John, looks like very little setup time, I am curious how often you use it and if it is your normal method of threading?
