Need some 1/2”-28 TPI threaded rod

[ErichKeane]

I would think that tailstock support and a couple extra spring-passes would make it not require a follow rest. That said, if you need it in 2" increments, it probably makes that point moot, since someone could do 6" pieces or something.

I just got 36" of stainless threaded rod (3/8" 16TPI) for $11 on Amazon.

I have off the shelf 1/2" all thread (plenty) at my shop, no idea what thread count it is.

I have off the shelf 1/2" all thread (plenty) at my shop, no idea what thread count it is.

1/2-13 and 1/2-20 are the UNC and UNF sizes, so I'd suspect it is one of those two.

1/2-28 is a pretty unusual thread unfortunately. I've only ever seen it used in threaded barrels (though I'm sure its used elsewhere), and never in allthread.
