Does it cut metric threads as supplied? Thank you.

Yes, but ... Cutting metric threads isn't discussed in the (brief!) manual. To learn how, search 'mini lathe metric threads' on the web. There are several web pages that explain things better than I could do in a brief answer. These pages also offer tables of the proper gears or computer programs to give you the gears for a specified thread. A lathe with a gear drive SAE pitch lead screw CANNOT cut perfect metric threads but with the proper gears it can come close enough for practical purposes. Buying a 21-tooth gear (about $10, easy to find by search with 'mini-lathe') will get you within a small fraction of a percent accuracy -- good enough for all but precision instrument work.

I cut mine using a tightly press steel edge as a guide and a utility knife. Cut threads were then melted using a lighter. The rubber burns so be careful with the flame.

You have to buy an SAE type tool. Metric dies fit metric threaded bolts only.

This tool is the right one for this job. The thread that comes with it is fairly heavy. This may or may not be the look you are trying to achieve. You could use other threads.

This tool is able to use all of the Dremel attachments for cutting, grinding, etc..1/8" diameter shaft. The collet on the toll tightens on the bit shaft. No threading capabilities. Hope this helps.

I had to drill and tap for another thread size,this was definetly worth doing because this thing works great !!!! wish I had got one years ago!!

I guess I don't understand the question. It cuts threads like national pipe thread (like the nipples you would buy at Home Depot). Works well with a good amount of oil and muscle. Happy with my purchase. Buy a vise as well.

Would like to know as well. I lost pin for cutter first time using it during cleanup

I agree with John's answer, you can cut with out any spacers (just be careful) and this will give you a close cut.

Yes. I did not have the tool to cut it. So I took it to a hardware store and they cut it. You may ask them to smooth out the ends by sand paper after they cut.

I just bought a spool of replacement line in the same diameter and cut it in 5" to 6" lengths. I bought regular line but it seems to break off quite easily. Buy the heavy duty stuff and save yourself frequent changes during one trimming session.

You need to find out your thread size . The kit I bought was for metric threads

Yes, there is a metal strip that is quite sharp. It makes the cut very easy and accurate. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I have.

Yes, it comes with all the hardware needed.FYI - We live on a dirt road so the threaded inserts in the car chassis were full of junk so I went to the hardware store and bought a new M12 metric bolt at my local hardware store, I then used a Dremel tool to cut four groves (roughly equally spaced) lengthwise up the bolt. I used the bolt as a thread chaser, with liberal amounts of penetrant, i ran the bolt in a little and backed it out, then in a little more then back out. This cleaned the threads nicely and I was able to use the provided hardware without any problems.

Not without going into the shop in measuring. But its very long 10 - 15 ft and the ground clamp lead is shorter but the ground clamp is actually pretty decent. The only problem I have is the digital display is not accurate but it has a numbered scale to go by. For the price its a pretty good plasma cutter.

The kit I purchased is metric. It only has metric mandrels for the rivnuts (threaded inserts that accept metric fasteners). It will not be able to function as a standard rivet tool.

Yes. I cut it with a box cutter after it was installed, trimmed off the excess. It was not hard.
