Need some advice here you guys.
I have a part I need to thread internal to 1X14TPI. The part is just a little over 1.5"long. I do not have any internal threading bars and would like to use an indexable bar with a lay down insert. I don't want to sale the farm to buy one, so what do you guys use and what would you suggest.
I have read a little about them and little stumped on inserts. Some are advertised as full thread and some as partial thread. What would I want to use ?
Even thought about just making a bar and grinding a 3/16 tool. I guess a square tool in a round hole with a solid set screw would hold the tool in place.
Educate me here guys?
Thanks, Bob
