Hope everyone here has been well. In Sydney, everyone I know is fine.
I'd like to make some screws and parts for a few fishing reels that have whitworth screws in rare sizes. I was fortunate enough to get some dies and taps of those thread sizes. I'm thinking about how to slit the screw head. Been searching this place but haven't quite found my question answered.
1. How many teeth per inch on a slitting saw for small brass screws should I use?
2. If the screw head is all of 5/32" dia what diameter saw should I use?
3. How fast should I go for such a thin saw blade? 1/32" is the thickness of the slit I need.
