I do not currently own a lathe, but am looking to make a purchase in the near future. One of the operations I'll need to do is cut LH threads. Is this a standard lathe capability, or is there some special feature I'll need to look for?
Thanks in advance,
Larry
PS: Since there doesn't seem to be a lot of old American iron available in my area, I'm currently looking at one of the benchtop Chinese or Taiwanese machines
