Hi all
For my z axis control, I'm contemplating a twelve inch mild steel rod with six inches polished and six inches threaded. The router assembly will be attached to two of those rods, one on each side of the router with the half above the router being the threaded half.
If I were to manufacture those rods by using a hand held die, would I end up with a poor quality or reasonable quality threading?
In other words what are the expected tolerances for accuracy and wear for hand threaded rod. I'm considering 10mm rods. I'm assuming that stainless steel is impractical.
Given this is all new to me, what can I expect or am I needlessly introducing poor quality into my design?
Thanks in advance
