Making a long threaded screw
Let's say I have a small lathe (length) and need to make a threaded screw
longer than the max length of my lathe. Obviously this can be done in theory by just threading one part, removing from the chuck, reinserting further back in the headstock and continuing the thread. But in practice can this be done with enough accuracy for something like a replacement lead screw for a lathe? Yes, I am aware of parts on Ebay and long threaded rods from MSC, etc. - this is more of a "how to use my lathe" machining question. Thanks. Steve. |
