...but that is exactly where i am at with thread milling. maybe i'll break down this week and buy a thread mill i can't afford. i have a project that needs one. unfortunately the one i need is probably going to be the most expensive. i need to thread 5/8-24 from z-.9 to z-1.5. it looks like micro 100 has one that will work with that depth. now i need to figure out how to buy one.
