Oh this is not a wild idea at all. I have always wanted to make some instead of buying them as it is much cheaper =P. Its only since starting a tool and die course in college that now have some basics/tools/resources to do this now.
OSG only has imperial taps, is there any company that makes metric carbide taps for ti? Looked through and good pricing and a very wide selection...
If i have a m14 bolt what would be the best thread for it in a 6mm axle?
Give you and idea. 1'' OD (my stock size) with the said 14mm hole that would be needed...
The bolt currently is a m14 2.0 thread bolt in hardened steel with helicoil. Helicoil is just there for fool proofing it... Is there a better threading i could use to replace it? What is best for Ti, course thread or fine thread? Is a helicoil necessary for ti could i go without it. Any 1/2'' threading i could use?
I will get a more accurate picture with exact dimensions to give you a better idea. I should be getting my stock in a week or so...hopefully get some pics up to when start making it =P
Thanks for the help.
