I'm in a position where I might need to do a 8 TPI thread in some hardened steel. I don't know exactly how hard the steel is yet.
I've got some import C6 carbide that I've ground to the appropriate thread form with about 2-5º of back rake.
I've never done this before. Is this a good idea? Can this work?
I can run the 2.5" OD part at about 400 RPM.
