People always come to me after going everywhere else. I play 2nd fiddle so im use to it. So
there's alot of brains on this site. Need ideas. Guy comes yesterday (in trouble) got a buggered up nut need a tap thread chaser etc. NO; and also shaft threads. Take a look, It comes to
about 2" maj dia, 10TPI left hand. I say well gone ta take me a little time. Have to put on a 4
jaw dial the nut in, boring bar, set up, (meanwhile the furnace is running) $$ He decides to
have a new nut made, Ok being a freind of mine I say make sure to bring the damaged nut back
here. The plan is I thread the old nut then cut the nut in half for a die to C clamp on his shaft
on the good thread area then back out of the damaged thread end. Now should I whiz 90* slots
(like a real die) need to know if more slots are better. He cant bring me the shaft its a sawmill
like 15' long and weeks to get out, and my biggest lathe only has 1 1/2 bore in the headstock
or would be A fast $$. So are there any rules on how many slices to make on my half nut
die idea? Boy would I like a Mill. Small town we all help each other when stuck. Recap two
inch Maj. dia 10 TPI left hand thread /cut in half how many slits for a DYI die of this size?
looked at my 2" pipe die and has 4 flutes. sam
