I have a small production run of specialized gear pullers I'd like to make and one of the parts I'd like to do on my turret lathe. The part looks like the item blow. I could just buy the "bolt" but then it wouldn't be made by me and the cost of the bolt would push me too close to my target sell price.
I plan to use hex stock and I have a box tool to turn the diameter and a die head to make the threads. The question is, what grade steel would be best for strength and ease of cutting? I do mostly aluminum so not much experience with steel.
Thanks in advance!
