I thought you might get something from this video. It is made with a legacy machine and i know some of you guys have a legacy machine and use Conversational Cam and this is supposed to be a new addon.

What i'd like to know from any legacy user who uses conversational cam is if these are like the addon or gadgets(?) i see others talk about.

It's all been done before in SB3. Internal & external. You can run a CP with helical plunge and set TPI to make whatever thread you want. The reality is, it isn't all that practical, you need more room @ bottom of hole to get full threads (part has to be up on pedestal) and you can hand tap faster and more reliably in many situations - unless it was for a production job.
