Live Threading on Taig Lathe

So for a little over $1800 you can buy a lathe like this with a DRO that will do any threading you need for cue work. If there isn't a standard thread option listed for what you want, there is a custom option where you can program it in. Awhile back some said it didn't have a 10 tpi option but the lathes coming now have that I think. I know one of the members on here got one a few weeks back and posted some pictures of doing some test threads at 10 per inch

Just one clarification, The test shown here was 11tpi. I just noticed in the menu it shows 10tpi. I haven't tested yet.

This threading was with a tool holder. This week I should have all the parts I need to try live threading with a router.
