Cutting fine threads in W1 steel rod
I've been trying to cut 28 tpi threads in a length of
W1 5/8" drill rod stock. So far, they come out ragged to the point of uselessness. I'm a bit frustrated because the steel turns beautifully. I'm using hand-ground and diamond-honed HSS+10% cobalt tools. I've had good luck cutting threads in brass, bronze and AL. I've also made passable large form threads in steel. Anyone have any pointers? |
