[QUOTE="jdthorson, post: 2479002, member: 54819"] [b]bottle stopper mandrel[/b] Assuming you are not using a very soft wood there are two things that in general will put enough torque on the wood while turning to strip it loose from the threads - either your tools are not sharp enough or you are being too aggressive with your cut. Leave the tail stock in place as long as possible (the live center is a good idea) and do as much as you can with a sharp spindle gouge and it should work fine for you. If you use a scraper keep the cut very light. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
