I am going to crank up the lathe soon (tonight?) and try to make some. This will be a fun project for a neophyte like me.
Just curious guys. Single point or die? How do you hold the work? With a center?

Has anyone tried to make a smaller diameter bolt from a larger size bolt?
I need a couple of M12-1.0 bolts that I cannot find locally. I thought about trying to make some by turning down & threading larger diameter bolts (M14 or M16).
Is this doable?
Thanks,
BP
