Thread Milling on a Small Lathe | Making a Magnetic Camera Mount

Today we're making camera mount out of a Noga Big Boy magnetic indicator holder, or Magic Arm. We'll make a camera mount adapter out of 1144 steel and try our hand at threadmilling on the lathe for the first time using the toolpost grinder as a live tooling spindle. We'll also spend a little quality time at the mill with drills, counterbores, and taps.
