Firm grip on round rod in vise without scarring

I need to thread some aluminum rod. The mini lathe is really not up to the task. I threaded some with it the other day just to prove I could, but anything I can do with a die will be a lot faster to just do by hand. So, don't you want to chuck the rod in your battery drill/driver and aim it at your die, with the die held in the vise? A pin vise, or a three-jaw chuck, is intended to hold a cylinder, might not need any softjaw construction on your part. |
