Oddball die wanted
I am looking for an oddball size dienut-9/16"-28. Can anyone direct me to a source or perhaps someone who will custom make a dienut this size? It will be used for cleaning up existing threads, not cutting new threads. I really do not want to try to make on myself.....

If you read the included text, you'll note they _also_ carry "die-nuts". (and that's called an "adjustable die"...) Lloyd |

Oh, here ya go. $26.44, delivered. (hmm, + $15.25 to UK) Google is your friend: http://www.ebay.com/itm/9-16-28-Thre...-/150989525615 -- The Road to Success...is always under construction. --anon |

If there is not much cleaning to be done, if the threads don't need to be real pretty, and if you have a 9/16-28 nut, you can use the nut to clean them up by using a hacksaw blade to put a few teeth on the nut's threads. But then, who has a 9/16-28 nut? Bob |

: But then, who has a 9/16-28 nut? Pretty much any gunsmith worth his salt would have 9/16-28 thread chasing equipment. I wonder if the op has enough use for it to require buying the tool, or if a trip to a smith would be more effective. Lloyd |

The only size close I found at Brownells was 9/16x24. Spent years gunsmithing and never needed a 9/16x28. I rebuild MGB steering columns as a sideline business and some columns use 9/16x28 threads to attach the steering wheel.. Often columns come to me with buggered threads from people using a hammer and backed off nut to jar steering wheel off the shaft. I usually have to turn down the first thread or two in order to be able to reuse the old threads. Way too much trouble to set up to pick up the thread and recut in my lathe-less trouble to remove the threaded section of the shaft and replace it with new. So yes, I do have enough need to purchase the proper size die. Thanks to all who responded

You just have to take out any backlash while finding the thread. Gunner -- "You guess the truth hurts? Really? "Hurt" aint the word. For Liberals, the truth is like salt to a slug.

Not easy to pick up thread on these jobs because after years of abuse the threaded ends of these MGB columns are almost never true. Chuck it in my lathe and they wobble too much to be able to recut the threads with a single point tool. The threaded end of the shaft gets bent by people using a hammer beating on the end of the shaft to remove the steering wheel from it's splined shaft and tapered seat. Hence the need of a dienut to clean damaged threads. |

Ive got a bunch of thread files..both standard and metric..but none in 28 tpi Snap-on sells a set of three that specifically calls out 28tpi as one of the 'fit' threads. (9-32tpi, and several metric sizes). Of course, Snap-on is always pricey, but their tools are always being dumped by someone in debt and looking for a quick buck. Lloyd |
