wanting to make some small threaded rods with a 4-40 die and wanting to know whos had experience threading that small of rod.
will put the die in the chuck and rod in the TS chuck and have to force the rod in, the die is octagon so needs to go in the chuck.
anyway the setup is good just wondering whos messed with small rod threading////////
gentleman....................drill size for a 4-40 is .0890 or #43 the short steel rod to be cut is .0935 sound like its too big for the die??? and yes the rod is chamferd
