Hi,

I have to make some loooong threaded rod and need a die-head. Anyone
have one for sale or suggest where I might find one? I got sticker
shock at MSC. g


What size? You might be better off simply purchasing
the all thread, but you can find geometric die heads
on ebay. It took me about 4 months to find one that
a) I could afford, and b) I could rebuild to work.

Why in the *heck* are they using 5-40 screws in those
things!?


To encourage the sale of 5-40 chaser sets? :-)

Enjoy,
DoN.
